Tall Tales with Kitty Flanagan

Jul 26, 2013, updated May 09, 2025

Telling tall tales at the pub has been a favourite pastime among many Australians – only this time there’s prize money at stake.

Join one of Australia’s top comedians for a night of wit, wisdom and surprises as 10 yarn-spinning finalists compete for a $1000 cash prize.

Yarn Spinning with Kitty Flanagan combines two of Australia’s favourite traditions – telling tall tales and going to the pub – where the audience will judge the night’s best story teller.

Award-winning comedian, comedy writer, TV and radio personality Kitty Flanagan is your host for the evening. Known for her roles on Full Frontal and The Sketch Show in London, she has written material for the BBC, Channel 4 and Sky TV in the UK. She recently returned to Australia, where she writes for radio and TV and tours her successful stand-up shows internationally.

Join Kitty and 10 yarn spinners at the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel on Thursday, August 15 at 7.30pm. Yarn Spinning with Kitty Flanagan is part of Word Adelaide – a new festival exploring the power of words.
