Canberra Writers Festival – Girls' Night In
Kathy Lette, Annabel Crabb, Nikki Gemmell, Bridie Jabour and moderated by Jean Kittson
Tearing up the stage is five outrageously funny, smart and talented women to mark the Festival’s closing event - Girls' Night In! Bringing their unique brand of humour and whip-smart observations on the whimsy of life – and the meagre role played by men of all ages – these dames will have you in stitches as they chew the fat and share their love of literature, fine art, music and aged cognac. Kick off your heels (boys too), laugh with gusto and celebrate the end of the 2018 Canberra Writers Festival!
