Tomorrow night the Moth brings Valentine's Day to love burnt New Yorkers a little bit early (can't we just rip it off like a Band-Aid?). The event, called "Shot Through the Heart: Stories of Beaus and Arrows,” will feature stories from Christian McBride, Tina McElroy Ansa, Walter Mosley, Todd Bush, and Rachel Dratch (the evening is hosted by Mike Birbiglia). Recently Rachel—who lives in New York with her baby son—talked to us about the dreaded V-day, being a mom, living in a one-bedroom, and yes, Zazu. She may also be our first interview subject to use the C word (it's anecdotal!). more ›

As his "noir-rotic comedy" creation Bored To Death closes out its second season on HBO (this Sunday), Jonathan Ames is gearing up to host another Moth Ball (a benefit for the Moth Reading Series—whose podcast makes a commute from, say, Queens to DUMBO that much more enjoyable, at least once a week). Buy your tickets to the benefit, which is next Tuesday night, here—and if you see Ames around town, give him a hug, he seems blue (or make it less awkward and just @ him something fun on Twitter). more ›

Gothamist puts in a lot of time at the old day job, but if we didn’t work, we wouldn’t have things like happy hour, healthcare and sweet, sweet paid time off. Of course there are some jobs whose perks are harder to come by like working the overnight shift at a suicide hotline, but if you’re clever enough, you can turn that in to a one man show. Brian Finkelstein, a frequent storyteller and host of The Moth and performer at the UCB has taken his funny, sad life as a stoner/suicide counselor and performs it every Thursday at 8pm at the UCB. With Amy Rhodes’ show Growing Up Amy. [UCB Theater, 307 W. 26th Street - $5] more ›
