Zoe Norton Lodge

Zoë Norton Lodge is a well-known Australian writer, presenter, and performer, perhaps best described as a comedic journalist and storyteller. Zoë is the co-creator of Story Club, a highly successful live storytelling night that originated in Sydney. It features individuals telling true stories, often with a humorous or poignant twist. Story Club was adapted into an ABC TV series and also has a popular podcast. Zoe is also the author of "Almost Sincerely" (2015), a collection of "autobiographicalish" short stories. The book draws on her upbringing in Annandale, Sydney, and showcases her characteristic comic verve and eye for absurdity in everyday life. She occasionally appears on ABC's "Insiders" program in the "Talking Pictures" segment, where she offers commentary on political cartoons and visual media of the week with Mike Bowers.
