An Evening with Dolly Alderton
Spend a heartwarming evening in the company of award-winning podcaster, author, screenwriter, and journalist Dolly Alderton as she celebrates her latest book, Good Material.
Dolly Alderton is a force to be reckoned with, whose bestselling books have stolen the hearts of readers everywhere - including cultural tastemakers like Lena Dunham, Stanley Tucci, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and Elizabeth Gilbert.
Her iconic memoir, Everything I Know About Love, has recently been transformed into a hit television series, and her beloved Sunday Times advice column, 'Dear Dolly', has been adapted into a widely adored book of the same name.
Dolly is joined live on stage by iconic hosts:
5th November, with Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews, hosts of Shameless podcast.
6th November, with Yumi Stynes, host of Ladies, we need to Talk podcast.
7th November, with Hannah Ferguson, founder of Cheek Media.
Dolly is also celebrated as the international trailblazer for culture and current affairs podcasting as co-host of the wildly popular The High Low.
Now, Dolly takes to the stage to share her latest stories with Australian audiences for the very first time. Equipped with the anecdotes of her 'Dear Dolly' readers and her own well-documented adventures, Dolly will be offering her famously sharp observations and relatable musings on love, heartbreak, and everything in between.
Do not miss your chance to ask your own burning questions and hear Dolly’s reflections live.
Presented by Fane & Andrew Kay
