Milwaukee Moth StorySLAM: NINE TO FIVE

  • Friday, September 18
  • Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co., 224 W. Bruce St.

The Moth is an open-mic storytelling competition, with a dedicated following here in Milwaukee. The group regularly hosts “StorySLAMS” with various themes, the latest paying some tribute to the recently departed Dolly Parton’s famous tune about “what a way to make a livin.’”

Entrants are challenged to tell a five-minute story that can range from “First jobs and corporate climbing. Dream gigs, survival works, side hustles. Water cooler gossip, awkward HR meetings. Burning the midnight oil or goofing off on the company dime,” as just some of the possibilities storytellers are encouraged to dig into.

General admission tickets are $18, doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8. More info and tickets at: www.themoth.org
