An Evening with Storyteller Nestor Gomez

A very special evening of stories with
Moth Grand Slam winner Nestor Gomez

Saturday, September 24 at 7:30
$10 suggested donation. Under 18, free.

Nestor “The Boss” Gomez was born in Guatemala and moved to Chicago as an undocumented immigrant in the mid 80's. He told his first story at a Chicago Moth Slam, as a way to get over stuttering. Surprisingly, he won the slam that night and has not stopped sharing stories ​since. 

He has won over sixty Moth Slams (both in person and virtual) from Vermont to Portland, and three Chicago Moth Grand Slams. He is featured in storytelling festivals across the country.

Nestor is also the creator/producer/curator and host of “80 Minutes Around the World,” an Immigration Storytelling show which features the stories of immigrants, refugees, their descendants  and allies.

Nestor will be leading a storytelling workshop on the same day, Saturday, September 24, from 1-3pm at Whitcomb’s.

Made possible, in part, by the Essex County Arts Council’s Cultural Assistance Program Grant with funding provided by Essex County.
