Whether the featured performers are funny, informative, political, or completely personal, the anonymous confessions from the audience are the stars of every show.Selected from our live shows, each podcast features one storyteller bookended with anonymous confessions from the audience that are read (and often commented upon) during the evening. All BedPost Storytelling Productions are made accessible to deaf audience members by the fantastic interpreters from SOULumination. Though the interpreters are there to serve the deaf, they enthrall the entire audience with their beautiful expressions of American Sign Language. If you hear a roar of laughter and don't understand why, the interpreter may have stolen the show for a minute.BedPost Confessions Austin show dates: January 22- 24, April 22-24, July 22-24, Oct 21-23.
