Women in Media Oration & Dinner – featuring Kitty Flanagan

Australia’s most beloved comedian, writer and actor, Kitty Flanagan, will take centre stage at the 2025 Women in Media Oration Honouring Caroline Jones AO, delivering an address like no other in Sydney on 28 May. Known for her live shows and TV roles in Fisk, Utopia, and Have You Been Paying Attention, Flanagan’s rare appearance at this prestigious event promises to be one of the most compelling and entertaining moments on the media calendar.

With a career spanning stand-up, television, and bestselling books, Flanagan has captivated audiences across Australia and beyond, making her the perfect voice to reflect on the ever-evolving media landscape. 

Flanagan is the co-writer, co-director, and star of Australia’s most popular comedy series, Fisk. It has been reported that when she first pitched the show, she was told the female protagonist was ‘too unlikeable’. But the award-winning work has achieved record-breaking ratings with the latest season’s premiere surpassing three million viewers and each episode continuing to dominate in streaming. Fisk is equally loved abroad, ranking in the Top 10 shows on Netflix in 10 countries. 

Flanagan’s Fisk has also received widespread critical acclaim, securing numerous award nominations, including multiple AACTA, Logie, and Screen Producers Australia (SPA) Awards.

Given her impact in Australian media, Flanagan will be delivering the 2025 Women in Media Oration Honouring Caroline Jones AO, a tribute to one of Australia’s most revered journalists and mentors. This annual event fosters intellectual discourse, inspires positive change, and highlights the importance of gender equity in media. Flanagan’s signature wit and incisive observations will offer a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the industry’s challenges and triumphs.
