For those of you who’ve attended an in-person SLAM before, expect a lot of the same features, minus waiting in line!

Thanks for your interest! Tickets are no longer available. Please check themoth.org for all upcoming shows to see what's happening next.

Please note this show is in CDT.<h3>The theme for the night is DISGUISES</h3>Prepare a five-minute story about going undercover. Fake mustaches, heel lifts, cloaks, a nurse's uniform, or that giant hotdog costume. Mental disguises, like the Ph.D. you earned to appease your mother; or the "sensitive guy" persona you thought might work in your favor. Chameleon-level concealment. Pranks and mistaken identities. Wolves gussied up like lambs. The Trojan Horse, the Mighty Oz and now ... you!

For some storytelling inspiration on the theme of &quot;DISGUISES,&quot; watch Luanne Sims&#x27; story of faking a professional demeanor when she was very much still a newbie. Buy your tickets now!
