To celebrate the launch of Becoming a Man, join award-winning journalist and bestselling author Julia Baird and her very special guests live on stage for an unforgettable evening of honest conversation, laughs, practical advice and maybe even a few surprises.

Inspired by letters Julia asked friends and family to write for her 16-year-old son Sam, Becoming a Man is a collection of diverse and thought-provoking ruminations on what manhood means today. Knowing there are no easy solutions, or flawless role models, over 60 contributors have written from the heart, hoping to spark dialogue or offer advice they were never given as young men.

Now, for one night only, Julia Baird brings together some of Australia's favourite thinkers and storytellers for an important and timely discussion around friendships, families, fear, love, and making mistakes.

A must for parents, guardians, young people and those who love them. Featuring Luke Bateman, Marc Fennell, Jeremy Fernandez, Benjamin Law, Michael Mohammed Ahmad, Rico Craig and others*.


Teenagers are welcome at this event, but we suggest they be accompanied by a parent or guardian as there may be mild course language and adult themes.

*Guests are subject to change.
