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
