My Best Mistake: Stories of
wrongs that went right
What if the very things we tried to avoid – the failures, slip-ups and wrong turns – were the making of us? This night brings together six women across six decades, sharing stories of their biggest mistakes and the surprising, beautiful, life-changing places those mistakes led them.
This month's storytellers
Our lineup is being carefully curated — this month's storytellers will be announced soon. Watch this space.
What to expect
Six real women, six real stories
One storyteller from each decade — 20s through 70s+ — sharing unscripted personal stories on a single theme.
2 hours, with time to mingle
Doors open 6:30 PM · Show runs 7:00–9:00 PM at Howler, Brunswick. 20min interval – time to connect, if you feel like it.
Laughs, tears and recognition
Not a panel. Not a lecture. Stories that make a room full of strangers feel connected.
For women of all ages
Our audiences range from 20s to 70s+. Come alone, come with friends — you’ll leave feeling both seen and connected.
What people are saying
I didn’t know what to expect — I left feeling like I’d been seen. One of the best nights I’ve had in years.

Genuinely funny, genuinely moving. The stories stayed with me for weeks. Brought three friends to the next one.
Jess T., 35 · Attended March 2026
I’ve been three times and cried every single one. In the best possible way. This show is unlike anything else.
