The O’Neill Reads Talk Show
Guests Johnnie Christmas, Catherine Hernandez & Jillian Tamaki. Featuring Patrick Watson
The surprise hit of last year’s festival, The O’Neill Reads Talk Show is back, this time as the closing night spectacle of the 2023 Imaginairium. Be part of a live studio audience for hosts Heather O’Neill and Arizona O’Neill (accompanied by the ‘house band’: Polaris Prize-winning musician Patrick Watson) as they welcome dream guests Johnnie Christmas (Swim Team), Catherine Hernandez (The Story of Us, Scarborough), and Calgary-bred Jillian Tamaki (Roaming, This One Summer). It will be a like magical, marvelous, mystery tour without a talk show’s seven-second delay or irritating commercials. (Oh, and did we mention Patrick Watson will be performing?!)
This event is part of Wordfest’s Imaginairium festival, Oct. 11-15, 2023. Connect with 50+ the world’s most arresting writers, thinkers, activators and inspirers, gathered just for you in Calgary, Canada. For more info: wordfest.com
