ONE NIGHT STAND – 14 FEB
Malthouse Theatre Outdoor Stage

One Night Stand is an intimate evening of insightful, funny and engaging conversations with author and cancer survivor, Patrice Capogreco and friends (Namila Benson, Jim Lawrie & Nkechi Anele, Vika & Linda, Uncle Kutcha Edwards and Cash Savage). After a shocking cancer diagnosis in 2021, Patrice realises she will survive—but questions if her sex life will?

Bringing her eye-opening stories to Malthouse Outdoor Stage, she’ll grace the stage with this in-conversation event, alongside special musical guests. It’s the ultimate non-Valentine’s Day evening that will make you cry, laugh and swoon as Patrice indulges us in the ways daily life and dating changed her forevermore with a diagnosis.
