Some stories are so ridiculous they should come with photographic evidence. 📸😂
Lucky for us, they do.
Pics or It Didn`t Happen is back — a night of true stories featuring epic fails, unexpected adventures, questionable decisions and moments that sound completely made up.
See you June 25 at @therechabitehall 👋

Proof or it didn’t happen… and trust us, people DELIVER at Pics or it Didn’t Happen.
Last year, Min Lee casually rolled out footage of himself on a reality TV blind date like it was absolutely normal behaviour.
It was not normal behaviour.
It was magnificent.
Pics or it Didn’t Happen is the one Barefaced show where storytellers have to bring the receipts — photos, videos, screenshots, awkward evidence, cursed Facebook memories… all projected up on the big screen while they tell the story live.
Honestly? It’s chaos. In the best possible way.
🎤 Hosted by the glorious Jeffrey Jay Fowler
📅 Thursday, 25 June
📍 The Rechabite Hall

ANNOUNCING OUR NEXT MC:
Jeffrey Jay Fowler will be hosting our June 25 show:
Pics or it Didn’t Happen — the annual Barefaced night where every story must come with photographic/video evidence/screenshots. Which honestly feels dangerous. That`s because it is.
To celebrate, we’ve just dropped one of Jeffrey’s own Barefaced stories onto YouTube — featuring psychics, spiritual awakenings, and a man desperately trying to discover his special power 🔮
“She told me I was a very powerful psychic… which was funny because she was the psychic and I had gone to her for the reading.”
Watch the full story now on our YouTube:

Pics or It Didn’t Happen is BACK ❤️
Our annual winter spectacular returns June 25 — and if you know, you KNOW.
This is one of the biggest crowd favourites of the entire Barefaced year because for one glorious night only, storytellers don’t just tell the story…
They bring the evidence.
Screenshots. Home videos. Old photos. Text messages. Questionable fashion choices. Deeply regrettable haircuts. Actual proof that these stories really happened.
It’s chaotic.
It’s hilarious.
It’s weirdly moving sometimes.
And there is absolutely nothing else like it.

This is not a TED Talk.
This is not a PowerPoint presentation.
This is Pics or It Didn’t Happen — Barefaced Stories’ annual crowd favourite and one of the funniest, most chaotic nights of the year.
For one special event only, our storytellers come armed with photographic evidence.
Old photos. Home videos. Screenshots. Receipts. Terrible haircuts. Regrettable outfits. Actual proof that these deeply unhinged stories really happened.
And honestly? The audience reactions are half the fun 😂❤️
This show sells out almost every year because there is NOTHING else like it.

Our May Barefaced Stories show is finally here tonight 🥹
And as always, each month we give you, the audience, a chance to have your story read live on stage and win a prize for our favourite one of the night.
And this month’s prize is VERY good.
🥃 A bottle of UPSHOT Australian Corn Whiskey from the legends at Whipper Snapper Distillery.
Rich creamy texture. Vanilla. Dark toffee. Maple. Nutmeg spice. Honestly, it tastes like the reward you deserve after surviving your own terrible decisions.
Even cooler? Whipper Snapper was co-founded by Ryan Wilson, ex-SAS soldier and founder of Working Paws Australia, who absolutely floored the Barefaced audience with his story about military dogs giving their lives to save ours. Bloody legends.
To win this bottle tonight, your prompt is simple:
✍️ “I thought I was ready…”
That’s it. Finish the sentence. Write it on the slip provided on the night and we’ll read out our favourites live on stage.
Funny. Chaotic. Heartbreaking. Regrettable. We want all of it.
(And if whiskey isn’t your thing, don’t worry. We’ve also got a Think Back Stack prize pack up for grabs too.)
THOUGHT I WAS READY
Tonight, 8pm - no tickets left 🙁

This is the night we check the receipts.
Pics or it Didn’t Happen is exactly what it sounds like — real people getting up on stage with a story… and the evidence to back it up. Photos. Screenshots. Voice notes. Questionable life choices, fully documented.
Some will be hilarious. Some will be cooked. Some will make you go, “there’s no way that’s real”… and then they’ll show you.
Hosted by the excellent Jeffrey Jay Fowler.
Real people. Real stories. No notes. No scripts.

This month’s Barefaced Stories is getting VERY full and tickets are disappearing much faster than usual 👀
So if you’ve been thinking “oh yeah I should book that later” … this is me lovingly telling you that “later” may betray you.
`Thought I Was Ready` is shaping up to be an absolute cracker:
cyclones, fires, suspicious Russian spies, terrible dating decisions, talent show chaos and at least one story involving sex gone VERY wrong.
Thursday 28 May, 8pm
📍 The Rechabite
Ticket link in bio - don’t leave it too long, mates 💛
Each month we give you, the audience, a chance to have your story read live on stage and give away a prize for our favourite one of the night.
And this month’s prize?
It is VERY cool.
Like… annoyingly cool.
You’ll want in. So start thinking.
Your prompt in advance is:
“I thought I was ready…”
That’s it. Just finish the sentence.
Examples:
🖊️ “I thought I was ready to casually microdose an edible before seeing Dune at Luna until I became convinced Timothée Chalamet was personally disappointed in me.”
🖊️ “I thought I was ready to move in with my boyfriend until I discovered he owned one fork, no bed frame and a taxidermied ferret named Susan.”
🖊️ “I thought I was ready to drunkenly text my married boss at 1am because I genuinely believed I was being ‘mysterious and seductive’.”
🖊️ “I thought I was ready to save money by cutting my own fringe in the work bathroom five minutes before an all-staff meeting.”
🖊️ “I thought I was ready to quit my stable government job and follow my dream of becoming a full-time taxidermist until my first dead fox exploded.”
Short. Messy. Funny. Heartbreaking. We want it all.
Fill out a slip on the night and you’ll go in the running.
