The ABC Of: June 13

Wendy Harmer sits down this week with David Wenham this week on The ABC Of, reflecting on four decades of breaking through and smashing stereotypes.

Wendy reminisces about her part in the genre-defining comedy programs The Gillies Report and The Big Gig, where she was also the first woman to host a comedy show in Australian television history. She’s gone on to be a globally successful author, top rating radio host and television documentary maker with Stuff.

But success is just the top line of her story – Wendy talks about navigating a public career while having been born with a facial difference and how she’s found love and healing after a childhood marked by poverty and sadness.

8pm tonight on ABC.
