NPR's THE MOTH Storyteller Comes To Jaffrey

Since 1997, The Moth has been an organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. Since 2009, The Moth Radio Hour has been an integral fixture of public radio through NPR. On Monday, March 26 at 7:30pm, the River Street Theatre in Jaffrey will present one of The Moth storytellers, Abhishek Shah, as part of it monthly Monad Knock-Knock Comedy Live nights.

In addition to being a featured storyteller on The Moth, Abhishek Shah performs stand-up comedy (a regular at Laugh Boston and Giggles Comedy Club) and storytelling all over Massachusetts. Originally from Mumbai, India, he has won several local stand-up competitions as well as a Massmouth emerging talent in storytelling award. By day, he works as a biomedical engineer - though making people laugh through stories, he claims, is his true passion.

Abhishek Shah will be joined by additional comedians. Your host for the evening is New Hampshire based comedian and entertainer extraordinaire, Greg Boggis.
