FRINGE AMBASSADORS 2021
Brooke Boney It’s not often you meet a journalist who can cover a political campaign trail as comfortably as they can cover the showbiz beat. But that’s Brooke Boney’s core VP. TODAY’s Entertainment Presenter masterfully balances her trademark relaxed outward glow with an inward fierceness that was borne from a childhood of disadvantage. Boney earned her big break on national youth radio station triple j as the news presenter for Ben and Liam’s breakfast show. Boney’s passionate embrace of her Indigenous culture is uplifting. She’s igniting discussion around Indigenous affairs and sharing her message with sensitivity to the slow and subtle pace of progress. Best of all, she’s doing it under the hopeful gaze of thousands of Indigenous youths across the country, who have someone to help them imagine themselves doing it too. Brooke is coming to Adelaide Fringe for the first time in 2021 as an Ambassador alongside a stellar line up of individuals and is excited to see what all the fuss is about. You can see Brooke alongside fellow Ambassador Tilda CobhamHervey at The Capri Theatre on Sunday 21st February for her event In Conversation with… Go to page 27 for details

COVID has really ripped the life out of live comedy over the last 6 months but to be on stage again in a city as fantastic as Adelaide is going to be amazing! I can’t wait to see you all COVID-safely in the city of churches!
