About the Performers
Julia Jackson is a comedienne and solo artist. She has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and comedy clubs nationwide. Her one-woman show, Children Are Forever: All Sales Are Final, won the Best Non-Fiction Show Award at the 2016 United Solo Festival in New York City.
Paul Sussman developed his approach to melodrama and farce through years of work in financial management with Bay Area nonprofit organizations. He has written and performed a series of solo pieces through the eyes of road-ragers, insects, Anabaptists, cannibals, and others who persist in the search for meaning midst the puzzling evidence.
Neshama Franklin tells every chance she can get, from around the campfire to Moth grand slams. This is her 10th TIOT performance. Check out more of her stories on her YouTube channel, her radio show on KWMR, and her book review blog from the Marin County Library where she works.
Eva Schlesinger’s writing has appeared in over sixty publications, including the Chicken Soup For The Soul anthology, Thanks To My Mom. She has featured at BATS Improv, Weekday Wanderlust, and Lip Service West. Eva is a two-time Moth StorySLAM winner, and has been a Grand SLAM contender on The Moth Stage, where she made the audience of 1,400 laugh nonstop.
