The Philadelphia Moth Storyslam brings the best of The Moth’s live storytelling to Philadelphia audiences. Born from a national nonprofit founded in 1997 by George Dawes Green, The Moth presents StorySLAMs where everyday people share five-minute true stories that are judged by the audience. This performer page highlights the Philadelphia incarnation — a vibrant thread in a city with rich storytelling traditions and venues that regularly host Moth events.
The live experience
What reaches the room
In Philadelphia, audiences flock to World Café Live, Bok Auditorium (The Bok), and Punch Line Philly for intimate, high-energy evenings, including GrandSLAM Championship nights where past StorySLAM winners compete for top honors. The Moth’s work has earned national recognition, including The Moth Radio Hour’s Peabody Award in 2010 and the publication of The Moth: 50 True Stories (Hyperion, 2013). We’ve got you covered for a curated look at the Philadelphia story world and the performer who keeps it moving.
