Speakers: Jane Caro, Zoe Coombs Marr, Jan Fran, Michelle Law, Nakkiah Lui
Moderated by: Steph Tisdell
Roasts are normally a piss-take on an individual: a celebrity, comedian, politician, or public figure. But we're going rogue and our roastee is an idea - no, a movement: feminism.
If you thought the raison d'etre of this festival was above reproach, think again. We've assembled six of the funniest folks around from a variety of ages and backgrounds to roast feminism, from suffrage to the women's liberation movement, from wages to #MeToo, from beauty norms to care work. When it comes to gender and power, there's a lot to laugh about - and nothing is sacred.
Spirited, mischievous, sometimes serious and definitely very silly, don't miss what will be a hilarious and subversive interrogation - both a takedown and an ode to feminism.
Presented as part of All About Women 2024 at The Sydney Opera House
