Get ready, Brisbane – Broken Brains is bringing the laughs, the feels, and the real talk to Brisbane Powerhouse this May.
Join powerhouse duo Jamila Rizvi and Rosie Waterland on 14 May for a night of raw honesty, razor-sharp wit, and the kind of storytelling that hits straight to the heart (and funny bone).
On paper, a conversation about brain tumours and trauma doesn’t exactly scream comedy gold – but that’s where Jamila and Rosie flip the script. These two best friends (and bestselling authors) are unfiltered, unflinching, and absolutely hilarious as they share the personal stories behind their new book, Broken Brains. From Rosie’s very casual offer to keep Jamila’s tumour in a jar (seriously) to navigating life with trauma, disability, and complex health – this show is a masterclass in turning pain into punchlines, and friendship into survival.
This is more than a book talk. It’s the show we all need: comforting, confronting, and laugh-out-loud funny. If you’ve ever struggled with your own mental health, supported someone who has, or just appreciate a brutally honest yarn told with heart and humour – this is your night.
Tickets are now on sale for Broken Brains at $44.90 per adult, $39.90 for concession, and $39.90 per person for a group of four or more* – head here to secure yours before they’re gone!
