Austin Gets Mortified!

An obsession with Huey Lewis. The detailed diaries of a nerd molester. A girl's small town love of Nicholas Nickelby. True tales...ripped from the pages of diaries everywhere. Featuring a distinct lineup of local performers reading their own humiliating teenage journal entries, rap lyrics, philosophical musings and fictional shorts, Mortified makes its Austin debut this Friday night. Hailed as a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek and celebrated by the likes of This American Life, The Today Show, The Onion AV Club, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Jane, Daily Candy and more, the new Austin chapter invites you to share the shame.

A portion of the proceeds from Mortified Austin's premiere will go to Mortified's AngstGiving charity fund, raising money for 826 National, a family of seven nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping students, ages 6-18, with expository and creative writing.
