Whether joining us via the radio on Triple J and ABC, as a team leader on Spicks and Specks, commentating the Eurovision Song Contest, or as the voice of Aunt Trixie in the animated global hit Bluey, Myf Warhurst has been a staple of Australian radio and TV for over twenty years.
Now, the Wheeler Centre joins Myf on the road, heading to Warrnambool’s Lighthouse Theatre for a captivating conversation about music, memory and her new memoir, Time of My Life.
Join us as Myf shares funny, fabulous and sometimes fraught tales of her journey from a music lover in Victoria’s Western District to a much-loved presence on the airwaves across the country.
Presented in partnership with Lighthouse Theatre
