In Conversation with William McInnes

Brisbane Powerhouse

Updated: Oct 02, 2025

Bestselling author and actor William McInnes brings a collection of hilarious and heartwarming stories about those magical, roastingly hot months that define an Australian summer to Brisbane Powerhouse on Sunday, October 26.

Packed with nostalgic tales that will make you laugh, and sometimes even cry, William recalls unforgettable moments from summers past.

He takes us back to the energy-sapping heat of Redcliffe in the 1960s and 70s, ruminates on budgie smugglers, remembers holiday road trips that went on forever and epic Boxing Day Tests that stopped fans in their tracks.

Join William for a hysterical conversation about the Australia we are and the Australia we were – and the magic of those boiling-hot days when you wake up and know… it’s going to be a scorcher!

Good to know - Copies of William’s new book It’s a Scorcher: Tales of the Australian Summer will also be available to purchase for $33.40

Need to know - For info on venue accessibility, see the Brisbane Powerhouse website.
