Feminist Roast

Back by popular demand, this satirical roast is (lovingly) telling feminism to pick herself up by her bootstraps and get on with her (revolutionary) job.

What happened to you feminism? You used to be cool.

when it comes to gender and power, there’s a lot to laugh about – and nothing is sacred

After premiering in 2024 as one of All About Women’s most popular events, this spirited and mischievous evening returns to remix a classic comedy roast. Instead of a person, we’re putting an idea under the microscope: the concept of feminism will be picked apart and exposed in all its glory. 

Taking on the challenge of taking down one of the most loved – and often hated – movements in history is a line-up of quick witted and sharp tongued panellists. Reprising her role as Roastmaster, Steph Tisdell also returns to introduce and judge each panellist on their piss-take. 

Equal parts silly, serious and subversive, with a healthy dose of sarcasm, this hilarious event is both an interrogation of and an ode to the very idea of feminism.

Presented by Sydney Opera House
