Performance/MusicSpecial EventStorytellingYoung Audiences

A family holiday. A tiny beach house. Scorching heat. And the secret behind Gramma’s mouthwatering meatballs. Greg Heffley is back – and trouble is brewing – in this special performance by Jeff Kinney.  

Jeff Kinney is the famed creator of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, a global phenomenon that has delighted children – and their grown-ups – for nearly two decades. Over the years, the series has expanded well beyond the beloved books, inspiring a popular merchandise line, movies and television shows, firmly cementing its place in children’s pop culture.  

In this Melbourne-exclusive event, Kinney lifts the curtain to reveal the 19th book in his blockbuster series: Hot Mess. Greg Heffley is back for another sidesplittingly relatable adventure, this time on a mission to discover the secret ingredients behind his Gramma’s famous meatballs. Will he crack the code? Or will he cook up a recipe for disaster? 

Join in on the mishaps during this interactive show with one of the world’s most engaging children’s entertainers.
