Schooners & Stories

with William McInnes

Sold Out!

Words Out West is hitting the road again in 2024 to share our love of storytelling across the region. 

Join William McInnes, bestselling Australian storyteller, as he reflects on Australia’s way of life and gives us his own take on our colourful and colloquial way with words.

Our lingo helps us through life’s landmark occasions. It’s there in our fatalistic humour at moments of drama or heartbreak. It’s there when we cut through the media hype, call out self-important BS or reflect on the ways our sporting heroes behave both on and off the field. And it’s also there in the quiet conversations we have with ourselves. We use it to mark the ups and downs of our friendships and to navigate our relationships with our kids and families. Our love of plain speaking, of calling a spade a bloody shovel, communicates the essence of the thing to our mates, to those in the know – and to those at the top who should know better.

Order at the bar and pull up a seat — William will have you laughing out loud at the things we all say. It’s a night at your local you don’t want to miss.
