Hall Stories | Theatre North 2026 Season | Albert Hall
Every hall has a story to tell, and Damian Callinan is happy to eavesdrop.
There is barely a bakery in regional Australia that hasn't had one of Damian Callinan's show posters blu-tacked to its window.
In Hall Stories, the celebrated actor, comedian and creator of the hit film The Merger, combines his skills as a storyteller, stand-up and character actor, to pull back the curtain on his own tour stories and examine the quirks, traditions and characters of Australian halls and meeting places.
In this particular show, Damian will also be spending time with the local community to delve into the history and characters of the Albert Hall, and the role that it plays in the broader community.
Hall Stories is Callinan doing what he does best, where he does it best. He knows how to talk over a bubbling urn; wind up when the CWA heads to the supper room, and stack the chairs in 5's at the end of the night.
You just let him know where to get the hall key, and he'll do the rest.
