For the first time, British journalist, writer, icon and podcaster Dolly Alderton is heading Down Under for a cheeky tour. My advice? Bring a big empty bowl, ‘cos it’s about to be filled with Aunty Alderton wisdom.
If you’re infatuated with the topic of relationships, or just struggling with your 20-somethings, you might be familiar with Alderton’s work.
For folks needing a refresher on all things Alderton, she’s a journalist and broadcaster known for her best-selling memoir Everything I Know About Love, published in 2018, which was soon adapted into a TV series in 2022.
Alongside tugging on our heartstrings via her memoir, Alterton’s debut novel Ghosts (2020) and Good Material (2023) shot to the top of best-seller lists worldwide. And yes, we’re all still hoping she (one day) brings back The High Low, her ridiculously popular podcast with co-host Pandora Sykes.
Adding to that truly remarkable roster, the author will be embarking on an Australian tour — titled An Evening With Dolly Alderton — to share her wisdom on a plethora of topics such as relationships, heartbreak, personal adventures and observations.
