Kimball Allen to Bring MORTIFIED LIVE to Austin
Ripped from the pages of real life, Mortified Live is a show where adults share their most embarrassing childhood letters, lyrics, journals, home movies and artwork...in front of total strangers.
Seattle based performer Kimball Allen shares the stage with Austin storytellers reading colorful journal entries chronicling his upbringing as a fabulous black sheep in a large Mormon family. Scroll down for a sneak peek!
Equal parts comedy, theater, and therapy, Mortified has been hailed "a cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek and featured on This American Life, NBC's Today Show, Entertainment Weekly and Talk of the Nation. Mortified is created by David Nadelberg and the Artistic Director is Neil Katcher. There are chapters in 10 cities (from NYC to LA). Mortified Austin chapter is hosted by Katie Moore and features music from The Mortified After School Delight.
Kimball Allen is a Seattle based actor and writer. He is a best-selling Off-Broadway playwright and member of the Dramatist Guild of America. Allen has been heard on NPR and seen on PBS, Amazon Studios and Comedy Central. He has written for several publications including The New York Times.
Mortified Live: Austin runs May 6-7, 7:30pm & 10:30pm at Spiderhouse Ballroom, 2906 Fruth Street, Austin, TX. For show info and tickets, visit getmortified.com.
