The new deadline for Lip Service stories is September 8, 2010.  Sorry about the change.

First I have to say that this Lip Service was the best one ever.  I don’t know why really.  Just felt great.

And we raised $1,274 for Haiti by passing the hat.  Thank you Lip Service!

Here’s my story.  Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching.

The famous Lip Service has teamed up with The Open Tent to bring South Florida…Jewish stories.  True, personal Jewish stories told by real people. What could be more fun?  

Check us out Saturday, Nov. 7th at 8 p.m. @ Books & Books on Lincoln Road.

Storytellers:  Andrea Askowitz (that’s me), Richard Freedberg, Dale Hershman, Mort Laitner, Chaim LieberPerson, Li-Mor Raviv, and Mitch Weissner.

I know it’s not nice to say these are some of Miami’s most loud-mouthed Jews, but they are.  We are!  In the best way.  Show is free!

Lip Service and The Open Tent have come together to bring you…Lip Schtick, Jewish stories.  We’ll be performing, true Jewish stories live during Sleepless Night.  Submit your own story to submissions@lipservicestories.com AND come to the show, Nov. 7, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. at Books & Books, Lincoln Road.

The stories are up from the last Lip Service, September 26, 2009. I swear, this was the BEST Lips yet. I know I always say that, but thanks to the audience and the storyteller, this one felt the best. My brother told a story that you have to hear. He was hilarious and adorable.  My Uncle Ron said he was funnier than me.  Thanks Uncle Ron, but I don’t think so. Anyway, Tony packed the house with 150 of his closest friends.

Here’s my story:  It’s an excerpt.  The beginning got slashed, but you can still understand the story.

Lip Service is back and we got press!  Check out MiamiARTzine.com and read about how Lip Service has become the hottest, smartest, most honest literary event in South Florida.


I’m so proud of Lip Service.  Really, I think it’s great.  Eight stories, eight minutes each by all different kinds of people with a story.


Come to the next Lip Service and see what I’m talking about.  Saturday, Sept. 26, 2009.  @ Books & Books in Coral Gables.
