About

Hosted by Emilie Zoey Baker and Marieke Hardy with Osher Günsberg, Vijay Khurana, Cadance Bell, Ruby Jackson, Sara M Saleh and Tasma Walton.

Celebrating words, stories, and human experiences, Better Off Said is an evening of words it’s time to air; thoughts and reflections for the living and dead. At one time or another, we all find there was something we wish we’d shouted aloud, someone out there in the world waiting to hear an important message, a piece of history we feel our voice could have improved. Better Off Said offers the opportunity to leave no verbal stone unturned. To find closure. To sing truth from the rooftops before it’s too late.

Four guests will speak to the phrase, "the words I wish I’d said", and one special guest will deliver a Living Eulogy, to someone or some thing still of this Earth, to celebrate the best in our lives while we're here to hear it. Audiences will then be treated to a rare musical performance by Ruby Jackson.

From members of the team behind international literary phenomenon Women of Letters, Better Off Said has featured at writers’ festivals around the country, with regular events in Melbourne, and an incredible back catalogue of talent.
