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.

Meagan Perry: Hunted in the Deep

Desperate to shake off a rough few years, Maree opts for a colonic cleanse over scrapbooking, but her experience is far from the rejuvenation she imagined. From a dodgy venue to unexpected “fireworks,” Maree’s story is a laugh-out-loud reflection on health fads, menopause, and what it really means to let go.

Recorded live at Barefaced Stories on Sept 2024, the theme of the night was Shame Shame.

Shani’s story is packed with laughs, mishaps, and a dose of real Christmas spirit.

Recorded live at Barefaced Stories in July 2024, the theme of the night was Fully Schooled.

Shani Graham: Ho Ho Hammered

With a background in accounting, Kathleen’s all about logic, routine, and keeping things sensible. But when she steps out of her comfort zone and into the bush for a solo nature quest, unexpected transformations—and even a touch of “woo-woo”—start to unfold. From fasting in the wilderness to an unforgettable tick on her “sacred left breast,” Kathleen’s story is hilarious, heartwarming, and packed with surprises.

Recorded live at Barefaced Stories at City Farm in April 2023, the theme of the night was Ok Bloomer.

NEXT SHOW: March 27 at The Rechabite Hall
