Cheyne Pearce is on the cusp of securing a once-in-a-lifetime mobile phone deal when, mysteriously, the call with the telco salesman drops. Upon redialing, Cheyne discovers, to his disbelief, that the incredible deal has “vanished”.

Refusing to take 'no' for an answer, Cheyne embarks on a telephonic odyssey - days on hold, elevator music, scribbling notes and names like a detective tryin’ to crack a case. It's the classic David vs. Goliath showdown, but in a world ruled by call centers and customer service scripts.

This story was told on 25 Feb, 2020 - the theme of the night was ‘On Second Thought’.

BAREFACED STORIES

REFRESHINGLY HONEST. BOLD. AND BRUTALLY FRANK.

You wouldn't believe what happens in a state that's four times the size of Texas but with less than 3 million people rattling around in it. All that space, where no-one can hear you scream, or laugh, or cry. Shit happens here (with a very Australian accent). Barefaced Stories are the true stories told by people raised under a chroma blue sky, on powdery white beaches, in aqua-clear waters and occasionally, deep down in the dirt - some are humourous, some are sad and some downright perverse.

Created in 2010 by performers Andrea Gibbs and Kerry O’Sullivan (“the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers of Australian storytelling” – Richard Fidler ABC Radio), Barefaced Stories is honest, risk-taking, refreshing entertainment that hits the spot.
