Event Description

 Doyle's @ 3484 Washington Street, Jamaica Plain, MA @ 6:30pm doors open for seating and sign ups and at 7:00pm slam begins.

Theme "obsessed"
Have you lost control over your thoughts or actions ever?  Maybe you were 8 and obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or 48 and obsessed with executing the perfect holiday meal.  Chances are you experienced that out-of-control craziness called obsession.  What happened?  We want to hear about it.

Special Guest - Marcy Goldberg Sacks ,  the co-creator and co-host of Comedy WIth Wings, a monthly female comedy lab in
Boston.

 

 Ten lucky tellers will be drawn at random to tell and be judged.
Like poetry slams, there is team of volunteer judges and massmouth awards the top stories. Listeners will be engaged in story improv games between each 5 minute feature. Listen to our podcasts at iTunes
and podcast webpage:  http://massmouth.libsyn.com  And check out our video archive to get an idea about 5 minute stories http://massmouth.ning.com/video  On April 11, 2012 all the finalists will gather at Coolidge Corner Theater main theater to compete for a
week in a medieval townhouse in Tuscany and other prizes.

"Because have a life, you have a story. Bring it!"
