Open Mic Story Swap DISCLAIMER: This is an open mic session. Better Said Than Done is not responsible for the content shared by storytellers in the open mic.
We do NOT plan to have multiple events going on at the same time throughout the weekend. You could, potentially, tune in Thursday night and watch all weekend without missing anything. However, we will also provide all Full Festival Pass and Virtual ticket holders links to watch the festival events for a viewing period of one month following the festival, in case you miss anything or want to watch performances again.
