#About the event

Duration: 60 minutes

1:00pm, Sunday 11th October 2026
Brisbane City Hall
64 Adelaide St, Brisbane City

In 2016, a young writer called Alice Oseman began publishing a webcomic about two teenage boys who meet and fall in love. Ten years on, Oseman is the third bestselling graphic novelist of all time, and that webcomic, Heartstopper, is a global publishing phenomenon (not to mention a wildly popular Netflix show) and a Gen Z icon lauded for its representation of queer joy. Join Oseman on her first visit to Brisbane as she discusses her tender and hopeful portrait of friendship and first love.

Please note that Alice Oseman will not be signing books following this event. Pre-signed copies of Heartstopper Volume 6 are available for purchase with your ticket, or at the venue on the day of the event.
