Mortified DC Tickets

Mortified DC is the DC edition of the nationally renowned Mortified project, produced for Black Cat by Alex Hewett and Adam Ruben. Originating in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, Mortified was founded by Dave Nadelberg and has grown into a multifaceted cultural phenomenon, including stage shows, books, podcasts, and a Sundance Channel TV series. In DC, Mortified blends personal storytelling with live musical performances from a dedicated Mortified Band, creating intimate nights of memory, humor, and connection. The format brings real people sharing their childhood writings and diaries, reimagined for today’s audiences, with a musical backdrop that elevates the storytelling experience.

Mortified has been described as a cultural phenomenon by Newsweek and has attracted coverage from NPR and This American Life. The DC edition continues this legacy with a local twist, curated for a bold, city-wide audience that loves genuine storytelling and live music. The brand’s broad reach spans TV, books, and podcasts, making Mortified a recognizable, trusted experience for fans of memoir, culture, and performance art.
