Steph Tisdell

A sought-after speaker and MC, Steph’s unique position as a high-profile Indigenous woman, combined with her background in social sciences and huge passion for Aboriginal rights and advocacy, enables her to effectively function as a bridge between cultures. Her widely-toured, award-winning show Identity Steft harnessed the power of comedy to tackle Indigenous politics and identity in a new way that illuminated these issues for a broad audience.

Steph’s authenticity as a speaker allows her to be vulnerable on stage, discussing other sensitive issues like body image and mental health in ways that inform, empower and of course, simultaneously amuse.

Steph has several keynotes and thanks to her authentic and comedic delivery, her addresses are both memorable and uplifting. Delving into her personal challenges with identity and mental health, highlighting the empowering role of comedy in overcoming adversities and her perspectives on reconciliation and life as an Indigenous person in Australia, she is well equipped to fit any event.

A regular on TV and radio, Steph is in-demand as a speaker. She has performed at events with many high profile organisations and not-for-profits including: Department of Communities and Justice, Supply Nation, Women and Leadership Australia, Action Aid, Brisbane City Council, Darebin City Council, Parramatta City Council, Reconciliation NSW, BridgIT Water Foundation, AIMEE and more.

As a corporate speaker, her youth, passion and spark set her aside from any group. As a professional stand-up comedian, her ability to entertain and engage audiences is seldom seen.

Steph is an absolute legend, she stepped up as a keynote for our mental health conference and completely held the room with her speech, everyone was cry-laughing so much, she is pretty damn hilarious. Her ability to be so real, so human an accessible brings a layer of extraordinary richness to her amazing humour and wit. She was totally professional, generous and authentic and we’d have her back in a heartbeat.
