Hear the Stories
Christopher Bennett — Speaker
Stories that entertain, connect and inspire.
The stories in Roy Boy aren’t just about the past.
They are stories about resilience, family, community, change and growing up — themes that still resonate today.
I give engaging presentations to businesses, not-for-profit organisations, community groups, libraries and other organisations.
My presentations combine humour, personal experience and memorable stories from growing up in Fitzroy during the 1950s and 1960s.
Depending on the audience, presentations can explore:
RESILIENCE
What growing up in difficult circumstances can teach us about overcoming challenges.
GROWING UP IN FITZROY
A personal look at life in one of Melbourne’s most colourful working-class suburbs.
A CHANGING AUSTRALIA
Stories about a Melbourne that has changed dramatically over the decades.
PEOPLE & COMMUNITY
How family, neighbours, friends and communities shape who we become.
STORIES THAT CONNECT
Using personal stories to create conversation, laughter, memories and connections between generations.
Presentations are tailored to suit the audience and organisation.
