This month's theme:

I GOT IT FROM MY MAMA
Prepare a five-minute story about what runs in the family. From memorized Sunday sauces to generational trauma wrapped in questionable traditions. Fashion tips and whispered warnings. Sharp tongues and sharper cheekbones. Tell tales of inherent humor, proud features, warm embraces and the advice only a matriarch can deliver. Explore our motherly ties and those before them that shape our worldview and make you, you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This month's theme:

OPPOSITES ATTRACT
Prepare a five-minute story about the allure of something different. The free-spirited artist to your straight-laced accountant. The early riser and the night owl. The picky eater to the adventurous foodie. Did you, the Type A planner, go on a trip with your Type B procrastinator bestie? Have you lived with a minimalist who challenged your maximalist style? "Don't think we'll ever get our differences patched. Don't really matter 'cause we're perfectly matched" -Paula Abdul

OOPS
Prepare a five-minute story about your favorite whoopsie daisies. Slips and spills, faux pas and flubs. Share your cringiest gaffes, your most destructive pratfalls, those fateful mistakes that left egg on your face. Whether it was a harmless misunderstanding that snowballed, a breathtaking blunder with real consequences, or a mortifying moment you still replay at 3 a.m., this is your chance to own it. Give us the lowdown on your slip-ups!

Check out some of their performers here!

Our community is quite diverse in age, gender, sexuality, culture & background. Our mission is to connect authentically and build a community centered on shared human experience.

We meet once a month, first to warm up with some casual on-the-spot storytelling games, then get settled in for prepared performances.

All stories (both casual and prepared) follow The Moth's style:
🔹 True, personal and told in the first person
🔹 No longer than 5 minutes long
🔹 Told from memory (no reading)
🔹 Themed around emotion, vulnerability & self-growth

Prefer to just listen?

Perfect. We're looking for eager storytellers and story-listeners! Every storyteller needs a kind, curious, and responsive audience. Your presence matters!

Whether you’re ready for 5 minutes of fame or just want to soak in others’ stories, you’ll be part of a welcoming, vibrant community built around laughter, reflection, and human connection.

Ready to take the leap?

If you do wish to prepare a 5 minute story in advance, please review The Moth's storytelling advice and this month's theme. Also, make sure to message me (Shaf, the organizer) and I'll talk you through some guidelines. Here's this month's theme:
