The Spoken Nerd: Geeky Stories by Dorky People
An evening of story tellers sharing true tales from real nerds!
Welcome to NYC’s very first Live Storytelling Talkshow! Not only will you get Stories, magic, burlesque and science – you will also get interviews and insight into the minds of these very nerdy people.
THEME: Games People Play. Stories of Dice, Mind, Video, Con(games).
* * Hosted By * *
Peter Aguero - First Chair - Lead singer of the BTK Band, a host of The Moth, and a Moth StorySlam winner.
Nelson Lugo - Second Chair - Magician, Pie Lover, Burgeoning Vaudeville Impresario and he's pretty sure he's the 13th Doctor.
* * Storytelling By * *
Sara Peters - Wife, gamer and witch - but not in that order
Steven Berkowitz - Storyteller and rabid D&D player
Mojdeh Rezaeipour - Moth Storyslam winner and re covering chess club member
* * Science Demonstration * *
Lawrence DeGeest - Studies economics at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, who prior lived in NYC and ran around with the brain gang from NYU. He will present an informative and entertaining mini-lecture on the science of Game Theory.
* * Burlesque * *
Minnie d'Moocha - a full time burlesque performer/pinup model/vintage hairstylist/lounge singer in the NYC area. She loves belly-dancing, Donkey Kong and lounging around in a latex Batgirl costume.
* * House Band * *
H2Awesome! - a collection of Comic Book Writers, Artists, Filmmakers, Screenwriters and Directors turned Musicians. They love all things geeky and will glady sing songs about them.
* * * *
The Spoken Nerd is a celebration of the great and noble art form of storytelling...but from a very geeky point-of-view. Each show has a theme and each invited guest story teller shares a true and personal story based on that theme. Sometimes the stories are funny, sometimes they're not. Sometimes the stories are serious, sometimes they're not. However, the stories are always explorations of the human condition immersed in tons of pop-culture. Both theatrical and intimate The Spoken Nerd strives to give a voice to the comic book/gamer/sci fi/science dork in all of us.
But more than just stories, every show will have non-story artists! Practical science demonstrations, sideshow artists, string theory lectures, jugglers and Nerd Core Hip Hop will share the stage from time to time. And all of this will come together in an epic nerd stew of awesome.
Games will be played... Prizes will be won... Stories will be told!
