"Mr. Wade is an enchanting storyteller." - The New York Times

Storyteller Adam Wade is a 20-time Story Slam winner at The Moth, a writer, storytelling instructor, and media producer. He is the creator of the #1 Best Selling Audible Original audio memoir You Ought to Know Adam Wade. This innovative "biopic for your ears" combines his honesty onstage with his intimate reflections in the studio.

"Wade is expressing not just our inner misfit but our inner small-town kid." - The New Yorker

Adam's debut storytelling/comedy album Adam Wade: The Human Comedy was enthusiastically lauded in Sarah Larson's profile of Adam in The New Yorker, while his second album Adam Wade Live at The Magnet Theater, quickly shot up to #2 on iTunes and Billboard Comedy Charts.

"Adam's nuanced observations, openness, and wit transform these coming-of-age tales into funny, impactful, and universal stories of joy and hope." - Audible

A proud member of The Writers Guild of America, East, Adam has multiple TV and audio projects in various stages of development that draw from his own unique life experiences working at a Greek diner as a teenager, managing a movie theater in college, and leaving his home state of New Hampshire in his early twenties to make it in New York City.

An inimitable fixture in both the New York City storytelling and comedy scenes for over twenty years, his monthly storytelling show Adam Wade from NH ran from 2010 until 2020 and was a New York Times, CBS News, and Time Out NY Critic's Pick. He has toured across North America with The Moth Main Stage and his stories have appeared multiple times on The Moth Radio Hour and The Moth Podcast. Adam has also made two appearances on the PBS television show, Stories from the Stage.

His recent personal essay for Hodinkee.com's 'Watch of the Week' is one of the most popular essays on the site.

Having storytelling in his DNA came in handy with his experiences as a producer for ESPN, UNICEF.org, and Hachette Filipacchi Media,

He has appeared on-camera in HBO's Girls Season 5 finale, Seasons 2 and 3 of Inside Amy Schumer, ESPN's Classic Now, and hosting a tech series for Bloomberg called Conversations with Coders.

A seasoned teacher of his craft since 2010, Adam has helped over 2,500 students with their own stories in his variety of 6-week Storytelling Classes at NYC's Magnet Theater.

He also conducts one-on-one meet-ups and workshops for businesses, universities, and other organizations including the United Nations, Pinterest, Humane Society of the United States, American Lung Association, Pen America, Etsy, and the New York Times.
