ABOUT THE SHOW

Get ready for a night of big laughs and glorious oversharing as Em Rusciano takes the stage to talk about her new memoir Blood, Sweat and Glitter.

Em reflects on life with the ‘diagnostic trifecta’ of ADHD, Autism and perimenopause, while juggling motherhood, career reinventions and an inconvenient addiction to craft. It’s her coming-of-middle-age story; one filled with laughter, rage, and plenty of glitter.

In conversation, Em dives into the stories behind the book: quitting breakfast radio, surviving lockdowns, and discovering what it really means to live loudly in a world that prefers ‘women of a certain age’ to go off quietly into the sunset.

Honest, hilarious and just a little bit unhinged, this is Em Rusciano as only she can be.

Book now. It’s going to be one hell of a ride.
