Was your holiday party cancelled this year? Probably. Why don't you come on out to Comix on Monday, December 15 and surround yourself with (and drown yourself in) holiday cheer? No, it's not exactly free, but with discount code MORT, you can save $5 on your ticket. Just an early Christmas gift from me, ok? From the heart? And you'll have a couple of drinks and some laughs? And I'll be hosting the show, most likely looking terrific, and I've got an amazing lineup of adults reading the crap they wrote when they were teens to delight you and remind you that you weren't the only dork roaming the earth at 13.
Ripped from the pages of real life, Mortified is a comic excavation of adolescent artifacts (journals, letters, poems, lyrics, home movies, stories and more) as shared by their original authors before total strangers. Watch it live at Comix on December 15!
Produced by Anne Altman, Mortified has been hailed as a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek and celebrated by the likes of This American Life, The Today Show, The Onion AV Club, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Jane, Daily Candy and more. The project collects childhood creations and uses them to reveal uniquely autobiographical tales. There are a million stories buried in the pages of ordinary people's lives. Their mission is to simply help find them. Participants include a wide range of people, from professional performers (comics, celebrities, singers) to total amateurs (architects, ad execs, salesmen) all in the noble pursuit of self-degradation.
Where can you hear grown men and women confront their past with firsthand tales of their... first kiss, first puff, worst prom, fights with mom, life at bible camp, worst hand job, best mall job, and everything in between? Only at Mortified and only at Comix!
