Wollongong Historical Society of Awkward Encounters

Introducing the Wollongong Historical Society of Awkward Encounters, where we delve into the clumsy moments that shaped our beloved city. From cringe-worthy speeches at council meetings to the infamous ‘beach BBQ’ debacle where the sausages burned while the guests awkwardly fumbled with their words, we gather to retell those stories that mix dating mishaps with local lore. Our gatherings feature dramatic reenactments of cringy moments from Wollongong's history, with a side of snappy commentary. Who said history had to be dull? We’re here to make it relatable! With monthly storytelling evenings that could only be described as a “delightfully awkward blend of community theatre meets cringe-comedy,” this is where tradition and humor collide in a delightful spectacle. Dust off those family albums where the scarves were questionable, and come share your piece of Wollongong’s awkward social fabric!
