On October 21, Adam Wade's monthly storytelling show, "Adam Wade: Live in New York," took place at Under St. Marks Theater, 94 St Marks Pl in the East Village, starting at 7pm. The series is listed on the Frigid New York ticketing site as part of its monthly storytelling shows.

Wade is a 20-time winner of The Moth's Story Slam. He created the Audible Original "You Ought To Know Adam Wade," billed as the platform's number one best-selling Original, and has appeared on TV's "Inside Amy Schumer" and "Girls." The show's promotional copy also describes it as a critics' pick of The New York Times, Time Out New York and CBS.

Each installment features three to four stories drawn from Wade's large catalog, so no two evenings repeat. A different special guest storyteller opens every show. The listing gives a running time of 90 minutes.

The promotional material quotes several voices on Wade's work. George Dawes Green, founder of The Moth, says Wade goes on stage bringing only himself and that audiences quickly fall in love with him. The New Yorker is quoted as saying he expresses both our inner misfit and our inner small-town kid. Audible's description calls his coming-of-age tales funny, impactful and universal stories of joy and hope.

The series continues. The official page lists dates from November 18 through December 16, 2026, at $20 plus a $2.50 fee. That is the price shown for those later dates, separate from the October 21 performance. For readers from Japan who follow live storytelling in the vein of The Moth, this is one of the small-room, recurring shows in the East Village, held in a basement theater at the St. Marks Place address.
