balderdash is a free event newsletter and website for the Bay Area. You'll get one email a week with the latest events, plus full access to the site. We're working on adding personalization and bookmarking too!

We aim for a balance of curated and comprehensive, with a minimalist aesthetic ("Craigslist meets Gen Z") and a sprinkle of personalization. Our initial focus is on 🎭 live performance (comedy, music, theatre, dance), with a smattering of 📽️ indie film, 🪩 parties & street festivals, 🧠 talks & lectures, 🖼️ art, and 🤪 the weird shit that makes the Bay special.
