For most of us, adolescence's never-ending angst and cringe-worthy moments are best observed in a John Hughes film rather than personally reprised for the entertainment value of total strangers. However, Mortified's "comic excavation of adolescent artifacts" (journals, letters, poems, and so forth) operates on the belief that group embarrassment is the way to go. Frequently featured on This American Life, Mortified's stories of first kisses, first puffs, fights with mom, and terrible hand jobs are all shared by their original authors, before an eager audience of strangers, to the delight of all. The Valentine's Day edition appropriately features tales of love, lust, infatuation, and romantic catastrophes, in all their awkward glory.

Mortified SF says…

We have compiled some of the best, worst, most awkward, and odd love-related pieces that Mortified has to offer. Share the pain, the awkwardness, the necking, the dry humping, the wretched love poems. Come see our biggest show of the year! This one is not to be missed!
