  • Went back to take part in, what turned out to be, the final MothUp story telling night at this venue. The Moth is one of the most popular podcasts on iTunes. Each week it features 1 or more 5-7 minute "it happened to me" stories. The show gets its material from MothUps held all across North America. MothUps have been taking place in Toronto since May 2010 but despite being a fan of The Moth I was unaware there were even Moth shows in Toronto. Thank you Yelp Events for helping me notice. The show started at 8 pm. I was told, as a story teller, to arrive at 7 pm. I got there about 6:40 and found the place packed already. It was standing room only 30 min before show time. The MothUp was well run and well organized. They had a great stage and good sound system. No technical glitches. Downsides: Ideally I like to smooth myself out with a couple beers before getting in front of a crowd. They only had two bartenders trying to serve a capacity crowd. It took a good 15 minutes in line to get a simple beer. An extra bar keep or two might have helped. I did manage to down a beer and a portion of the wonderful Elaine K's beer before I went up as first story teller of the night (the sacrificial lamb slot). I've just discovered The Moth's Toronto venue and this will be the last time NOWttC is hosting it. NOWttC will continue with their own non-Moth branded story telling night. I wish them luck. They certainly have the technical and organizational chops but when you consider as a story teller you're getting, via The Moth, a chance to share a virtual stage with story tellers that range from a-list actors, headliner comedians, to Nobel prize winners, a little home-brew story fest might not have quite the cache. Moth or no Moth, do check out this place for any future story telling nights.
