An Evening with Samuel Johnson’ tells hilarious truths, exposing scandalous showbiz yarns alongside unbelievable personal anecdotes, including his quest for the ghost of a lost poet.

Samuel's story since his sister’s terminal diagnosis is incredible, raw and epic. He broke the world record for longest distance travelled on one wheel. He put on the Big Heart Project which raised a very twinkly $2.55M. He won a Gold Logie for his portrayal of Molly Meldrum, held the Mirrorball trophy aloft in Dancing with the Stars and was awarded the Victorian Australian of the Year in 2018. This show goes way further than that though.

Delve into the brutally honest depths of how he and the world’s most annoying sister decided to stare down mortality and strive for something much bigger than themselves.
