Event:

Talking Writing: Make It Funny

Thursday 5 April 2018,
6.30-8.00pm

Tragic, challenging or just plain boring, our first Talking Writing of the year brings together writers who find humour in the typically unfunny.

Junkee’s News and Politics Editor, Osman Faruqi, will chair a panel including renowned tragic comic Annaliese Constable, slam poet and performance artist, Kevin Duo Jin, and Sweatshop’s Associate Director, novelist Tamar Chnorhokian.

In what ways does comedy open us up to new ideas? Are there limits to who can joke about what? Expect readings, discussion and, of course, laughs.

This event has already taken place.
