MOTH host, storyteller Peter Aguero comes to Next Stage

PUTNEY — Peter Aguero, a storyteller from public radio's “The Moth Radio Hour” and a masterful raconteur, comes to Next Stage on Friday, Oct. 10, at 7:30 p.m.

Aguero, returning to the area aftre having been a part of storyteller events at the Latchis in Brattleboro, will take the audience through a raw and sympathetic look at his relationship with his father in a piece he calls “Daddy Issues.”

As Next Stage promises in its program announcement, “Through crippling honesty, brutal humor, and vivid reflection, Aguero tackles the universal plight of not being able to pick your family.”

Born and raised in the wilds of South Jersey, Aguero lives in Queens, N.Y., with his wife. He's a Moth StorySLAM host, GrandSLAM champion, and instructor for the MothSHOP Community Education Program.

He's also the lead singer of The BTK Band, which he calls “NYC's hardest-drinking improvised storytelling rock band.”
