The Moth comes to Ireland to spin a great yarn

As New York storytelling club, The Moth, comes to Ireland, Richard Fitzpatrick learns the secrets to spinning a great yarn.

YOU can’t beat a good story. That’s certainly what The Moth has discovered. The New York storytelling club has become a cultural phenomenon since its first show sold-out without advertising in 1997.

Each year almost 25m people download its podcasts. It returns to Dublin for its second live Irish show tomorrow.
