Lock it in, legends. The rest of our 2026 Barefaced Stories lineup is here and it’s looking hectic (in the best possible way).
Real people. Real stories. No notes.
Here’s what’s still to come:
28 May – Thought I Was Ready
25 June – Pics or it Didn’t Happen
30 July – Crossed a Line
27 August – The Thing I Didn’t Say
24 September – Seemed Like a Good Idea
8 October – Strange But True (Freo)
29 October – The Deep End
26 November – Alive, Somehow
17 December – The Music Edition
Chuck it in your calendar or hit the link in bio to add them all in one go.
Don’t be the person hearing about it after the fact.
Did you know that we film our stories and upload the ones we get permission to publish to our YouTube channel?
Which means the story that made you laugh-snort into your drink… or stare silently into the middle distance on the drive home… might still be waiting for you online.

🕰️ The countdown is ON.
THOUGHT I WAS READY is selling really quickly, so if you’ve been meaning to grab tickets, maybe don’t do your usual “I’ll sort it later” thing.
Look at these beautiful little faces 🥹❤️
Honestly, there is nothing quite like a packed room at Barefaced Stories — strangers becoming a little community while someone on stage casually admits the most cooked thing that’s ever happened to them. Don't miss out!
