When do you know that you’re a regular?

Between the crowds, chaos, and constantly changing neighborhoods, city life can sometimes feel impersonal—until you become a regular. You find a sense that you belong from that diner where you get your own coffee, the bartender who tells you your boyfriend is a bum, or the bodega owner who helps you quit smoking. This program was a night of storytelling hosted by 20-time The Moth StorySLAM champion Adam Wade, we heard tales of being a regular from some of the most talented performers on the scene.

Participants: Michelle Levy, artist; TJ Mannix, actor, singer, improviser; Thomas Pryor, storyteller, photographer, and writer of Yorkville: Stoops to Nuts; Kathleen Spellman, actor, author, and modern-day renaissance woman; and Adam Wade, 20-time “MOTH StorySLAM” champion.
