The Girl Who Pretended to be a Boy – Part One

In Part One of The Girl Who Pretended to Be a Boy, Tales of Bedlam dives into a classic Romanian fairy tale filled with royal dilemmas, magical disguises, and a surprisingly dramatic wolf. Adapted from Andrew Lang’s Violet Fairy Book (yes, violet—not violent), this episode brings the old story to life with lively banter, irreverent humor, and special guest appearances from Mr. Death, Hades, and Dr. Know-It-All.

Join Micah (Knob Twister) and Dustin (Sofa Sitter) as they wrestle with ancient gender roles, snarky dialogue, and absurd sound effects while unpacking a tale about daughters doing what sons were expected to do—only with more sass and better iPad playlists.

This is part one of a three-part story arc full of satire, analysis, and unpredictable antics. Whether you’re here for the folklore or the laughs, you’re in for a wild ride.

Did the wolf surprise you? Did Dr. Know-It-All’s analysis make you laugh or cringe?
