The Moth returned to the Cliff Bell’s stage for an evening themed 'Jokers,' featuring live story performances. Each storyteller had five minutes to share a true story, judged by a panel to pick the night's winner who advanced to compete in the upcoming GrandSLAM championship. The event strictly focused on authentic storytelling—no notes or fictional scripts allowed. It wasn’t stand-up comedy, but a raw, honest moment of storytelling where conflict and resolution came to life.
