ONE NIGHT STAND
One Night Stand is an intimate evening of insightful, funny and engaging conversations with author and cancer survivor, Patrice Capogreco and friends.
After a shocking cancer diagnosis in 2021, Patrice realises she will survive—but questions if her sex life will?
A single Mum wanting to enjoy an active dating life, Patrice celebrates the ups and downs of navigating sex, dating and intimacy before, during and after cancer treatment.
Bringing her eye-opening stories to Malthouse Outdoor Stage, she'll grace the stage with this in-conversation event hosted by Namila Benson (ABCTV) and alongside special musical guests Nkechi Anele, Jim Lawrie plus more to be announced.
Through it all, is one question: When you have cancer, can you still have sex?
Filled with honesty, humour, vulnerability and joy, join Patrice and friends as they break taboos to talk all things cancer, friendships, love, sex and dating.
