THE WHARF REVUE 2018
DÉJÀ REVUE
Written and created by Jonathan Biggins and Drew Forsythe
The punchlines keep rolling in
The Wharf might be needing a facelift, but The Wharf Revue is looking as young and gleeful as ever.
Those indefatigable kings of comedy, sorcerers of satire and masters of mockery, Jonathan Biggins and Drew Forsythe, are back in the saddle and gearing up for another glorious year of political satire – this time in the Roslyn Packer Theatre. The stage will be bigger and so will the laughs. We like to think of it as continuity with change.
So, politicians take cover and pundits stand back, because there will be songs, there will be dance, and there will be some very funny impressions.
Join us as we sort the wets from the dries, the leaks from the fakes, and the factions from the fictions in this bigger, better and wharfier Revue than The Wharf could ever handle.
“Frequently dark, sophisticated and as well as being awfully clever it’s also totally idiotic and hilarious.”

reviews
★★★★ "So hysterical that twice I was brought to tears." Sydney Morning Herald
★★★★ "If you’ve been hanging out for the Wharf Revue since the last one, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re new to it, it’s likely you’ll be blown away... A national treasure and totally recommended." Stage Noise
"Supercharged political satire, hard-hitting, hilariously irreverent and sparkling brighter than a Cartier collection of newly cut diamonds." Canberra Times
