WOW – Women of the World has announced WOW Presents… An Evening with Jordan Stephens and Friends, a one-night-only event taking place at Shoreditch Town Hall on Saturday 15 November 2025.
Hosted by broadcaster, musician, actor and activist Jordan Stephens, the evening will explore the most pressing issues affecting men and boys today. This marks Stephens’ debut as WOW Guest Curator.
Presented in partnership with Equimundo, the global leader in engaging men and boys in gender equality, the event will feature thought-provoking conversations, performances and moments of laughter. Topics will include money, mental health, stereotypes, fatherhood, sex, care, power and vulnerability.
WOW Founder Jude Kelly CBE will open the evening, which includes appearances from Inequality Economist and best-selling author Gary Stevenson, and award-winning poet Sam Browne. More special guests are to be announced.
Jordan Stephens said:
“I’m so excited to join WOW on this incredible journey. I’ve supported and collaborated with WOW for a long time and it has always been such a powerful voice for gender equity, always creating a space for difficult conversations, but also joy and fun. I can’t wait to bring more men and boys into the conversation in bold, creative ways. This is about sparking energy, connection and real change together.”
Jude Kelly added:
“We are thrilled to be working with Jordan Stephens as WOW’s first ever male Guest Curator. Jordan has been part of many WOW events and is always astute, observant in discussions around masculinity and life as a man today, not to mention hilarious. He is a close WOW ally in our commitment to engaging men and boys in the journey to gender equality, and I’m very excited to bring this event to London – the first in the WOW’s chapter of work dedicated to exploring what it means to be a man in the world today.”
Founded in 2010, WOW has delivered over 150 festivals and programmes across six continents, reaching millions and supporting thousands of activists. This event marks the beginning of a new strand of work focused on men and boys in WOW’s 15th anniversary year.
