Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally will make an exclusive appearance at Vivid Sydney 2025
If you thought that Vivid Sydney 's new and improved program was already sounding too dishy to handle – with icons Martha Stewart and Nigella Lawson both set to make appearances – then think again. The hottest couple in comedy, Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally are confirmed to appear on stage and in-conversation together for the very first time in Australia, closing out the final night of the 2025 festival.
Unscripted & Unfiltered with Nick Offerman & Megan Mullally will see the immensely talented husband-and-wife duo grace the stage of the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) on Saturday, June 14.
Mullally, best known as Will & Grace's Karen Walker, and Offerman, best known as Parks and Recreation's Ron Swanson, have forged a creative partnership that spans film, television, podcasting and co-authorship over their quarter of a century as a couple. However, they have never appeared in a live-onstage in-conversation before now.
'Megan and I are powerfully chuffed to get back to town for Vivid Sydney, but also to reprise our lovemaking session atop the Sydney Harbour Bridge,' Offerman said in an official statement.
He continued: 'Once we have recharged those particular batteries, we'll be thrilled to transfer our slatternly energies to the Vivid Sydney audience. Come for the anecdotes and the burlesque lust in our every turn of phrase, then get stretched out before you get home, because there's gonna be some canoodlin''.
In this playful conversation moderated by radio and television broadcaster Zan Rowe, Offerman and Mullally will give insights into how they have shaped their careers as multi-hyphenate artists separately, get candid on what it takes to collaborate as both creative partners and spouses, and celebrate how their work intersects with their activism within the LGBTQIA+ community and across environmental issues.
'We couldn't let Vivid Sydney take place this year without treating visitors to a masterclass in comedy,' said Vivid Sydney Festival Director, Gill Minervini. 'Nick and Megan are one of the funniest couples alive, and this conversation is set to be equal parts unpredictable and hilarious.'
Offerman and Mullally's appearance will be exclusive to Vivid Sydney as part of the festival's Global Storyteller series, which this year also includes Martha Stewart. The series is designed to 'bring together the world's brightest minds and creative leaders to provide new forms of creative exchange and interactive engagement'. Previous speakers include pop culture sensations Jennifer Coolidge and Mike White, comedic visionary Amy Poehler, local superstar Troye Sivan, and Hollywood trailblazers Baz Luhrmann and Spike Lee.

The Aussie streaming service is also offering an exclusive presale to Stan customers from Thursday, May 8. General release tickets for Unscripted & Unfiltered with Nick Offerman & Megan Mullally will be on sale from 9am on Friday, May 9, at .

Hollyoaks confirms dark Clare Devine twist as teens are chilled to the bone
Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Monday's (June 9) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on at 7pm. Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix) proved that she's just as evil as ever, delivering a bone-chilling threat to Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass), Frankie Osborne (Isabelle Smith) and Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence). The legendary soap villain, who staged a historic comeback 'from the dead' earlier this month, tracked the teens down to 67 Christleton Terrace, determined to ensure they keep shtum about the details of their trafficking ordeal. Walking into the property in her signature red high heels, Clare removed pictures of Misbah Maalik (Harvey Virdi), Nancy Osborne (Jessica Fox) and Donny Clark (Louis Emerick) from her handbag, informing the trio that she has 'eyes and ears' everywhere. Frankie, Dillon and Vicky reeled in shock as Clare ordered them to keep quiet about her and Grace Black's (Tamara Wall) roles in their exploitation nightmare, otherwise she would make them – and their families – 'disappear.' The unsettling threat came just hours after Clare revealed to the village that she's alive and well – despite the fact that everyone who dwells in Hollyoaks believed her to be dead. It seems that living in the shadows has hardened Clare further, with the character having been pulling much of the strings of the trafficking operation. And her ruthlessness is something that Grace is set to find out the hard way, with Clare hellbent on revenge after she discovers her sister gave Tori back to the Blakes. Discussing what's to come, actress Gemma Bissix told Metro: 'Grace says she let Tori go to the shops on her own and the Blakes have just snatched her.
