Who is included on the All About Women program in 2025?

In 2025, the satirical occasion will be led by comedian and author Lucinda 'Froomes' Price; singer-songwriter, actor, comedian and Aunty Donna collaborator Michelle Brasier; Gamilaroi and Torres Strait Islander woman, writer, actor, director and All About Women co-curator alum Nakkiah Lui; and Ydinji woman and award-winning comedy star Steph Tisdell.
For the first time ever, stand-up comedy is included on the All About Women agenda, with a performance by Emmy nominated comedian, actress and writer of Cinnamon in the Wind, KATE, Don’t Worry Darling and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Kate Berlant.
Plus, winner of Australia’s first season of Alone and author of new release We Are The Stars, Gina Chick will take part in a raw conversation on overcoming grief and adversity.
We also now know that the 2025 iteration has been programmed by the Sydney Opera House Talks & Ideas team led by Chip Rolley, in collaboration with Whadjuk Noongar journalist and presenter Narelda Jacobs, and award-winning actor and writer for stage, screen and print Michelle Law.
