THE WHARF REVUE: GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK
By Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott
Co-directed by Jonathan Biggins and Drew Forsythe
After more than two decades of hilarious irreverence and a little COVID-related hiccup, this comedy powerhouse is back to say goodbye.
Don’t miss out on this one last hurrah as the indefatigable trio of Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott reunite with dazzling accomplice Mandy Bishop for one final victory lap of The Wharf Revue. It’s good night and good luck to the comedy juggernaut that’s been keeping the bastards honest since 2000.
The bad news is that the planet is on fire and our world leaders are barely qualified to run a chook raffle. And the good? The Wharf Revue has fake news, fake hair and real laughs in abundance. No one is safe and no topic too taboo in this night of sketches, songs and side-splitting satire. You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll want to move to New Zealand!
“Its best material is so hysterical that twice I was brought to tears – an activity usually reserved for funerals, Puccini and hitting my thumb with a hammer.” Sydney Morning Herald
