Mortified Live: Doomed Valentines

See the stage show that inspired the hit podcast.

Join as we celebrate and commiserate the day after Valentine's Day.

Mortified: Doomed Valentines Day features adults sharing the embarrassing, love-themed things they created as teenagers (old diaries, letters, lyrics, home movies & more) in front of total strangers. 

About Mortified

Since 2002, Mortified has been curating teen angst artifacts from people like you. The project began when founder David Nadelberg discovered an unsent love letter he wrote as a teenager. The letter sparked an idea and he sent an email to friends asking if anyone wanted to share their childhood writings on stage. That email went viral and soon, responses poured in from strangers near and far. Over a decade later, what started with a single letter transformed into a movement that included a range of participants (ad execs, architects, stand-ups, salesmen, writers, receptionists, actors, and attorneys) excited to “share the shame” from LA to DC to Amsterdam. Mortified encourages people everywhere– even those with no interest in appearing on stage– to unearth the strange stuff they created as kids and share them with at least one person. You’d be surprised what you discover in the process.
