Some people would prefer not to talk about embarrassing childhood memories. Better to forget that you fell off the roof thinking you were a superhero. Better to pass off your constant wearing of red vinyl pants as part of a fad... that no one else joined. Others have made an entire night of entertainment out of such memories.If you belong to that last group, grab your old diary and head up to San Francisco Friday or Saturday night to take part in Mortified. Within a low-lit bar (where else), you'll have the opportunity to take the stage and spill your guts about every painfully overwrought moment of your adolescence and have perfect strangers laugh with you (or at you depending on your perspective). It doesn’t sound like much fun, but apparently it is all the rage.
I'd imagine fans of awkward comedy would like this very much. But for those who might find it too uncomfortable to watch, they have made a home version for you.
