Thursday 4 June from 6:30pm to 8pm

From the grey streets and isolation of the Welsh valleys to the glittering stages of Kings Cross, Stan Munro has lived a life larger than any spotlight could capture. 

Born into hardship and heartbreak, Stan refused to be defined by trauma or shame. Instead, he rose, sequins first, transforming pain into performance and adversity into art. From performing at 13 with the Francis Langford Singing Scholars, to his scandalous summer romance with Are You Being Served? star John Inman and joining the iconic Les Girls on Sydney and Melbourne’s golden drag scenes, Stan’s story is as fierce as it is fearless. 

Told with unflinching honesty and outrageous charm, this is more than a memoir. It’s a rallying cry for self-expression, resilience,and pride. Whether he’s dazzling on stage or banished to Facebook jail, Stan Munro remains gloriously and unapologetically himself. 

“Life’s too short not to shine, darling so grab your heels, your crown, and your courage, and get ready to strut.” 

In conversation with William Brougham. 

Suitable for people 16 years and over.
