STORYTELLERS:
Ophira Eisenberg
Ophira Eisenberg, NPR's host of the popular and witty game show, Ask Me Another, (and frequent Moth SLAM host) will tell tales she can't do on the radio, in honor of Valentine's Day and love. She's spent years honing her impeccable comedic timing doing stand-up and a few years lying down in ways she describes in her riotous book, "Screw Everyone: Sleeping My Way To Monogamy." Last time Ophira was at Out by 10, she was minutes away from delivering her son. She's coming back as a new Mom with new tales of love and sleep deprivation to tell if she can stay awake.
Wendy Suzuki, Ph.D.
Wendy is a professional brain-lover. As a Professor of Neural Science and Psychology at NYU, she doesn't just study how our brains help us learn she weaves wonderful stories about how that three-pound organ makes us who we are. She mesmerized a recent Moth Grand SLAM audience with her story on "Saying I love You." In honor of Valentine's Day, she'll talk about your brain and love.
MUSICIAN
Sean Altman
Singer/songwriter/guitarist Sean Altman has performed at the White House twice, shared the stage with Billy Joel, Jon Stewart, Jay Leno, Joey Ramone, Moby (we could go on), co-wrote the theme song for the Emmy-winning PBS-TV series "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?" and is widely regarded as the "Father of a Capella."
Sean's original songs dubbed "tuneful and sharply witty" by the LA Times and "satiric gems" by The Washington Post will have you rockin' and rolling in the aisles. He's got a "silky tenor that produced chills" according to The New York Times. He has recorded several albums that range from riotous, irreverent original numbers (the Jewmongous album) to covers of the Beatles and Everly Brothers.
THE DEAL:
Our $20 admission fee ($25 at the door) includes FREE wine.
NEW VENUE: John Strasberg Studios, 555 8th Avenue, (37-38) Suite 2310
