Episode 3 of 3

Author Nikesh Shukla talks to Sarah Kendall about the importance of truth in storytelling. From July 2021.

Sarah Kendall talks to three different storytellers about what 鈥榮tory鈥� means to them.

How have they developed their own style of storytelling in their respective mediums?

In this episode, Sarah talks to author Nikesh Shukla about the importance of truth in storytelling.

Sarah started out as a stand-up comic in late 1990s Australia. After performing for 15 years around the world, she transitioned into storytelling.

Sarah wanted to create something on stage that felt like the sort of films she loved to watch, so she wrote an hour-long show with a single personal story. She reimagined her teenage years as though they had been directed by John Hughes, giving her memories a full, cinematic makeover.

This connected Sarah to her audience in a more meaningful way compared to her original joke-based routines.
