Telling a story onstage and telling jokes onstage are two very different things. But when a comedian takes a risk and tells a Moth story? Well, the result can be magical. On this episode, we’re featuring two of our favorite stories from comedians. They’re funny, yes, but they’re also vulnerable and real.

Storytellers

Hari Kondabolu confronts a heckler after years of hearing jerks in the front row.

Judy Gold discusses how her faith helped her through some of her darkest hours.

If you like comedians telling stories, you may want to join us for a special Mainstage in NYC on Saturday, November 14.

We’re teaming up with Comic Relief and the New York Comedy Festival.

Ophira Eisenberg (who hosted this episode!) will be hosting and five incredible comedians (Jay Jurden, Laura Benanti, Devon Walker, Jake Cornell, and Hari Kondabolu) will be telling stories.
