The Moth presents Mike DeStefano’s story, “Franny’s Last Ride,” live from HBO’s Aspen festival in 2007

Mike DeStefano wasn't only a great stand-up comedian, but a richly compelling storyteller who had a helluva life worth talking about.

Four years ago this month, DeStefano told a story about his late wife, Franny, as part of The Moth's storytelling showcase at the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen.

 

Mike DeStefano always kept it real. He will be missed.
