An Insight series presents the stories of two local artistic giants — Peter Wilson and Yuri Worontschak.

A comedy triple treat features Cal Wilson — a perennial favourite on television shows such as Have You Been Paying Attention, Spicks and Specks, Thank God You're Here, and more recently I’m a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here. This incredibly funny New Zealander’s stand-up shows are as engaging as they are hilarious. Cal is joined by multi-award-winning comedian, author and broadcaster Sami Shah, and Annie Louey, one of the fastest rising stars of the Melbourne comedy scene.

Join award-winning Inga Simpson in conversation with Professor Joan Anim-Addo, Dr Deirdre Osborne and Kadija Sesay — international co-authors of This is the Canon: Decolonize Your Bookshelf in 50 Books. This event is a must for all avid readers and book clubs, enriching literary horizons.

Meet Dr Niraj Lal, the scientist, author, television presenter and 2021 Eureka Prize winner — who created Henry the Flying Emu.

A kaleidoscope of stories will pique your curiosity at this year’s Storytelling Festival. Television presenter, broadcaster, journalist and podcaster Myf Warhurst will share her story as team captain of Spicks and Specks and triple j favourite.
