Mike Williams ~ Who Gives a Fork?

  • Wesley Anne 250 High Street Northcote Hill , VIC, 3070 Australia (map)

Documentary producer and podcaster Mike Williams presents ‘Who gives a fork?’ — a mix of original audio stories performed live. Hear about a bricklayer’s quest for fame, a family holiday misadventure, and the real reason why your workplace has run out of forks.

After taking this show across Europe, Mike is bringing it home to Melbourne. This is a rare chance to experience audio documentaries performed live by one of Australia’s most prolific storytellers.

The night will also feature a story from local podcast producer and composer, Zoltan Fecso, whose music and sound art practice explore the experience of active listening.

More about Mike:

Mike Williams makes irreverent documentaries that reflect Australian culture. He’s performed stories live in a sausage restaurant, collaborated with a contemporary dancer, and once documented trying to learn how to do a backflip. His work has been featured by the ABC, The Guardian, Between the Ears (BBC3), BBC World Service and recognised by organisations such as Hearsay Festival, Third Coast Festival and The Walkleys.

‘A lighthearted take on documentary. Fast, self-deprecating and sometimes brash humour that’s often absent from podcast playlists’ — The Guardian 

‘Sparkles with fun and silliness and smarts and was just the thing I needed for a laugh when I was down’ — Gretta Cohn, Transmitter  

‘Pushes local documentaries in a different direction — it sounds like Australia’ — The Australian Newspaper
