Jennifer Coolidge in conversation with The White Lotus creator Mike White is hard to beat. But Vivid Sydney might’ve outdone itself with this one.

The Global Storyteller at this year’s festival is none other than lifestyle queen Martha Stewart, who’ll share insights from her remarkable career at a special in-conversation event at the International Convention and Exhibition Centre on Wednesday May 28.

“I have made some wonderful memories traveling to Australia over the years, so I am thrilled to return for Vivid Sydney. The conversation will be fun and honest, covering many aspects of my life and career,” Stewart said in a statement. “I’m always looking for inspiration when I travel so I’m excited to see what Sydney has to offer.”

Where do you even start with someone like Martha Stewart? She’s been an American household name and a fixture in pop culture for more than 40 years. She’s a self-made billionaire; an Emmy award-winning television host; bestselling cookbook author of more than 100 titles; and completed a five-month stint in prison for obstructing justice in a criminal investigation.

Stewart’s recent ventures include a Netflix series she kinda hated, a “comfort first” clothing line and this chic wall-paint collection. Oh, and chilling with Snoop Dog at the Olympics. But that’s only scratching the surface.

Where will she go while she’s in Sydney? Where will she eat? Will she hang out with Nigella Lawson? We have so many questions.

In Conversation with Martha Stewart is on sale Friday April 4 from 9am.
