Barefaced Stories | 24 September 2026 | Seemed Like A Good Idea
Seemed Like A Good Idea is our next Barefaced Stories instalment — a night of stories about decisions that made perfect sense… at the time.
You know the feeling.
“It’ll be fine.”
“What’s the worst that could happen?”
“Yeah nah, let’s do it.”
And for a brief, shining moment — it does feel like a good idea.
Until it doesn’t.
These are the stories of bold calls, questionable judgement, and plans that unravelled faster than expected.
Some end in disaster.
Some end in regret.
Some somehow work out.
But all of them started the same way.
