Star-Studded Lineup Announced for The Girls Uninterrupted and Kiwi Yarns LIVE Tour

For the first time ever, two flagship shows from Brodie Kane Media will take the stage together, offering audiences across Aotearoa a double bill of entertainment, storytelling, and unapologetic real talk.

Beloved for their loyal community and infectious energy, The Girls Uninterrupted return for their third nationwide tour, bringing their signature banter, bold conversations, and sisterhood vibes to the stage once more.

Sharing the spotlight is Kiwi Yarns — New Zealand’s top-performing interview-based podcast, hosted by journalist and broadcaster Brodie Kane. Known for its warmth, honesty, and depth, the live version will feature a rotating lineup of three exceptional local guests in each city, presented in a dynamic panel-style format.

Today, the unmissable guest lineups have been announced:

Auckland audiences will hear from Olympic gold medallist and diversity advocate Emma Twigg, globally respected business leader and former adidas North America president Zion Armstrong, and award-winning journalist and MeTooNZ founder Ali Mau.

In Christchurch, the evening features a powerhouse panel including Black Fern legend and trailblazer Kendra Cocksedge, former All Blacks captain turned leadership coach Kieran Read, and globally recognised resilience expert Dr Lucy Hone.

The Wellington shows welcome leading clinical psychologist and workplace wellbeing strategist Jacqui Maguire, food festival curator and author Beth Brash, and Green MP for Wellington Central and youth political force Tamatha Paul.

Two very different shows. One unforgettable night. Come for the laughs, stay for the connection.

The Girls Uninterrupted, Kiwi Yarns & Friends LIVE! kicks off on Thursday 7 August at San Fran in Wellington with both a matinee and an evening show, then heads south to the James Hay Theatre in Christchurch on Saturday 9 August, and continues to Q Theatre in Auckland on Friday 22 August.

ABOUT THE GIRLS UNINTERRUPTED AND KIWI YARNS
Meet the women behind The Girls Uninterrupted and Kiwi Yarns — bold, brilliant, and refreshingly real. Brodie, Gracie, and Caitlin each bring their own spark, sass, and storytelling to the mic, making a vibrant blend of laughs, heart, and unfiltered conversation. With backgrounds spanning journalism, broadcasting, and even nursing, these three besties are as relatable as they are remarkable — and they’re not afraid to say exactly what you’re thinking.

Brodie is 17-million-miles-an-hour, and if you were looking up “shy, introverted wallflower”, you would not find her anywhere near it. She is an award-winning journalist and podcaster who has had a successful, exciting career as a broadcaster in New Zealand for 18 years. She loves to run slightly uncomfortable long distances, has a real passion for gin and has been single for 923 years. She was once a champion surf lifesaver and spent a few years in the New Zealand Army. There’s never a dull moment with this independent media powerhouse.

Gracie is a wee pocket rocket originally hailing from the mighty Waikato. Currently living in Auckland, with her husband Ali and beautiful boys Frank and Otis, she has an extensive career in journalism and New Zealand media industries. She loves fitness, fashion, animals, and cooking. Once an accomplished equestrian who represented New Zealand overseas, Gracie is also extremely passionate about fashion and the arts and doesn’t need an excuse to get dolled up for any occasion. Her drink of choice? A dirty martini, extra olives.

Caitlin Marett is a small-town girl who, after ten years in radio, decided to leave her job as executive producer of ZM’s Fletch, Vaughan and Megan to pursue her dream of helping people by becoming a nurse. She’s obsessed with rosé, watching Friends on repeat and always finds herself in inexplicably weird situations. Caitlin would love a husband (she has a WONDERFUL boyfriend) and loves love so much that she became a marriage celebrant, which doesn’t help with her ability to cry at everything. She tries to live ethically and wants to be a vegan but can’t stop eating cheese. Just your average millennial who’s a basic bitch with a big heart.
