Fraser Gordon

Fraser was born in England to a Scottish father who was born in Australia and an American mother who was born in China, Fraser says it's not only not surprising he's a little odd, but he also feels he got the short straw in the birthplace department. He moved to Australia in 2014 because England was too wet and cold, and has spent the last 7 years complaining about how hot and dry it is. He met his now wife, Victoria, here in 2015, and despite having been married twice previously he tells Victoria often that she is definitely one of his favourites. He's competed in a number of ultra endurance events, the completion of which he attributes to being incredibly stubborn and pig headed. It is about one of those events that he will be sharing his story this evening.

Robyn Reynolds

Robyn Reynolds (UK) is an award-nominated comedian and writer. Handpicked for the Emerging Artist Hub at Sydney Fringe Festival, her sold-out debut was then shortlisted for Best Comedy. Recently, she's been busy as the Artist in Residence at the Old 505 Theatre with her writing partner Madeleine Stewart. Despite all this, she remains gorgeously humble.
