For many years, Kevin worked at the Chicago's legendary Second City comedy theater. During his time there, he built a solid rapport and fun friendship with one of the producers named Joyce Sloane. One day, Kevin annoyed Joyce, and as an act of retaliation, she purposely embarrassed him in front of a woman he liked. To this day, it is Kevin's favorite memory of Joyce.
This story was told in April 2024 during The Moth GrandSLAM Championship at the Herberger Theater in Phoenix, AZ.

My best friend Lance is one of those people with whom I have many inside jokes.

Kevin is a wonderful story teller. I was curious to know what Harrison Ford's handshake was like because in my experience a nice firm handshake is not so common. They are often either painful or like shaking hands with a dead fish. I loved Raiders also but was annoyed that my mother, who saw it before I did, told me that he spoiler alert, pulls out a gun.
Liked the story except that equating inhaling noxious fumes with recreation is misguided.
This was a good one!
Great story/Disagree-13th and 14th grades are important. Hopefully they lead to senior college.
Thanks for the story. Amazing-Even though it was weird and embarrasing,you can still enjoy telling it.
One of the best ever
That a wonderful gift to both you and your mom.
Wonderful story-Hope you're feeling well.
hahahahaha
What a great mom. You took after her. May her memory be a blessing.
This idea is absolutely spectacular and I don’t know that there are adequate words to describe it, thank you for sharing your story. I want to do this and I want to go to parties like this so that I have the chance to say goodbye to important people in my life, this is what being a human is. Thank you for sharing
It makes me happy to know that this story had such a positive effect on you.
I agree with Miss Moyer. These stories are beautifully crafted, touching, and really funny.
Amazing. It's really brave of you to share this side of yourself, and it is SO much more common than you think.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your storytelling always inspires me 💯🙌💯
Thank you, Karma!
You have and continue to be one of the best storytellers I've ever heard. Fantastic
Thank you, Rich! I appreciate you telling me that. Means a lot.
I love this story, thank you for sharing it! And, I appreciate you sharing your healing journey and some of the tools that helped you. Funny and informative. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you, Melody. I appreciate you telling me that. It took me a while to feel comfortable/confident enough to share all of this publicly.
I love this so much. I know exactly what you mean. I give incredible birthday cards. They’re not only funny (I seek them out that way) but I always write something very heartfelt in them. When I watch the recipient’s eyes well up with tears, it fills me with glee. Not because I want to hold it over them or anything. It’s simply because I enjoy being moved. So when I can write something that can do that, I feel like I accomplished something-even on a small scale like that. I brought some light into their life and into the world. It’s a great feeling.
Thank you, Lyda! I agree with everything you said. I get a lot of joy bringing other people joy.
You’re such an incredible storyteller. The way you can make people feel your emotions too all by just your verbal expression is so inspiring!!
Sincere thanks and appreciation, Natalie.
This story is so good. You can hear my creepy backwards laugh at 4:50 losing it.
Beautiful!
Thank you, Heather.
Incredible
Love the courage you have to share, love you!
This story gets a 4.0!
And your post gets a 4.0! Damn, James, we are killing' it GPA-wise!!
Kevin!!! You are just as the host said, "A treat!" I have so much respect for your talent and ability. Have you written a book?
Thank you, Karen. I appreciate you telling me that. While I have not written a book as of yet, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that some day I might. If I do, you will receive a Facebook message letting you know.

You are so underrated man! You deserve more views!

Lovely, Kevin. Thanks. From a fellow traveler. What is the book?
Thank you, Margaret. It’s The Moth’s 20th anniversary book, All These Wonders. You can also watch the story on TH-cam. It’s called, It Matters a Great Deal. If you type in my name and that title, it should come up.

This is a perfect story.
Thank you for that amazing compliment.
Wow. Great story.
Thank you, Michele!
This just goes to show how much self doubt is not grounded in reality. You are talented, funny, smart, handsome, and kind. You were an amazing teacher when I took your class at Second City. I hope you are doing better now.
Thank you, Shannon! Yes, I am doing much better now. And now, because I am feeling better, my hope is that by sharing my stories then that might help someone who isn't feeling so great.
I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😭😭😭 I always love your stories Kevin. From, one of your former students at SCity
Since you doth protest too much, I am going to assume that you were crying. :)
