Chaos, relief, and comedy gold emerges from Em Rusciano laugh-out-loud, self-searching memoir about life with the ‘diagnostic trifecta’: ADHD, Autism and perimenopause.

This will be ‘laugh until you wet your pants’ and then ‘sob with your mates over drinks’ stuff.

Em is a writer, singer, keynote speaker, comic and podcaster. Her podcast Emsolation was Australia’s first ever Spotify Exclusive, and her 15-date Outgrown comedy tour took Australia by storm in 2024. She’s here with her mate in crime, award-winning screenwriter Michael Lucas – Offspring, Rosehaven and The Newsreader. We are in for a treat!

An unmissable evening, hosted by HerCanberra’s Emma Macdonald.
