The Couch Outloud The Couch Outloud is an entertaining live talk show that inspires social connectivity and aims to encourage meaningful connections within the GC community.

Welcome to the Couch Outloud! "It’s not just a show it’s a movement!"


WHAT IS THE COUCH OUTLOUD? The Couch Outloud is a live talk show that will surprise you, take you on an adventure and open your mind. It is an experience that provides a glimpse into the lives of those that make the Gold Coast a remarkable city. We aim the spotlight on our artists, leaders and change makers who are the generators of Gold Coast culture. You will see, hear and feel why the people on the Couch do what they do. A modern talk show that has a host, guest interviews, audience participation, comedy bits, and live performances. Each show is 2 - 3 hours with pre-show show and/or post-performance. We encourage the audience to stay and mingle with the guests and each other in hope to create new connections and movement towards a more culturally diverse city. Gold Coast local Michelle Drumbrell launched the show in 2016. Since its conception the vision was to provide a platform that encourages conversations that can influence the way people view and interact within their community. Our vision is to contribute to the perspective that Gold Coast City is a place to push new boundaries in creativity, discourse and discovering what is possible. We believe that the more people that plug in locally and contribute to the community we all thrive in, the more fun we will have. Essentially, the Couch Outloud is all about bringing the community together in a fantastic way celebrating our great minds, talent and contributions.

Every powerful conversation begins with one thing: a real human story.

After years of producing The Couch Outloud® and helping people share the moments that shaped them, I have created a guided journal that brings those stories to life.

If you are a creator, coach, carer, storyteller or simply someone who values human connection, this tool will help you draw out deeper stories with honesty and emotion.

Explore the journal here and begin your journey of rediscovery.

Every unforgettable conversation begins with one thing - a powerful story.

I have been invited to host radio shows, work as a TV location producer, amongst other offers, but my true passion has always been sharing real stories from real people in a way that feels deeply connective. That passion shaped the path that I chose to create - The Couch Outloud®.

After years of producing, directing and writing The Couch Outloud® live talk shows, whilst guiding everyday people to share extraordinary moments, I have now packaged my acclaimed storytelling method for creators everywhere.
