"Stories at The Moth is New York's hottest and hippest literary ticket."
—The Wall Street Journal

"What has rapidly become one of the hottest events in town... The Moth is an evening of unashamedly old-fashioned storytelling... The performances are enthralling, funny and moving, with a typical New York intensity."
—The Times (London)

"The success of The Moth is one example of storytelling that is gaining momentum nationwide. In The Moth's case, these narrative sessions are fast becoming an institution."
—The New York Times

"Here, humor is mined... by exposing one's inner workings and establishing a connection with the audience. It is why so many New Yorkers flock to The Moth. It is why The Moth was such a hit the past three years at the Aspen Comedy festival... And it is why storytelling is catching on across the country."
—The Washington Post

"The Moth, NYC's collective of wry literati and eloquent humorists offered a refreshing alternative to the strained belly laughs... spotlighting the humanity in performers who have built their careers on the concealment of vulnerability."
—Time Out (Festival Roundup, The U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen)

"This narrative ritual is four years old—that's half a century in Manhattan years—and, judging from the crowds, still hipper than last night's cosmopolitan."
—O: The Oprah Magazine

"Best regularly-held literary event: 10,000 audience members can't be wrong... memorable and hilarious... an exuberant bimonthly moveable feast."
—Village Voice (Best of New York)

"We're grateful for The Moth…it'll make you laugh, it'll make you think."
—Time Out New York
