THE WHARF REVUE 2019: UNR-DACT-D

By Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott
Co-directed by Jonathan Biggins and Drew Forsythe

 

Back with a bang

 

The all-singing, all-dancing, side-splittingly funny solution to all the world’s problems returns for another year of satirical genius.

 

The West is crumbling, democracy is besieged and the world is run by morons with funny hair. You have to laugh. And that’s exactly what The Wharf Revue delivers. The indefatigable team is back once more to dig through the year’s political dirt and unearth comedy gold.

 

From the movers to the shakers, from the winners to the losers, the stage will be filled with uncanny impressions of the year’s most memorable characters and the moments they’d prefer to forget.

 

Stalwart performer Drew Forsythe returns with special triple-threat guests including the hilarious Simon Burke. The choreography is tight, the wigs are loose, the punchlines are loaded. Everything is ready for a big night of laughter and mayhem.

Praise for The Wharf Revue

 

“The Revue is an equal opportunity satire – no political party is left unstoned, nor cultural shibboleth unmauled.” Stagenoise

 

“What’s so brilliant… is how the material constantly falls between sharp, incisive satire and deliriously cheap gags.” The Daily Review
