An afternoon with Damian Callinan

Comedian, actor and writer Damian Callinan will be in conversation with compère Simon Rogers this Sunday at Lyonville.

A series of conversations with Australia’s music and comedy superstars at Lyonville’s Radio Springs Hotel has proven hugely popular, with the first two Sunday afternoon sessions sold out.


So far the afternoons have featured songbird royalty Marina Prior and her husband, renowned actor Grant Piro, followed by comedy legend Tony Martin.


Next up will be comedian, actor and writer Damian Callinan on November 10, followed by stand-up comedian and broadcaster Richard Stubbs on November 17, Alan Fletcher (Dr Karl from Neighbours) and partner Jennifer Hansen (newsreader and brekky radio host) on November 24, and the musical genius of David Bridie, frontman of My Friend the Chocolate Cake and Not Drowning Waving on December 1.


These stars will be in conversation with comedy compère Simon Rogers who will interview them about their careers, their best gigs and their worst gigs and take questions from the audience.


“It’s a one-off experience. It’s the cream of Australia’s performing arts chatting to me and you and a few friends and if you ain’t there you miss out!” Simon says.

The small and intimate performance space is part of the glorious art deco Radio Springs Hotel at Lyonville where guests enjoy fine food and wine in front of a crackling wood fire and can even stay overnight in one of the beautiful, olde-style bedrooms.


More headliners for the “An Afternoon With …” series will be announced soon for 2025.
