Overview
After twenty-five years in the harsh and unforgiving spotlight of politics, The Wharf Revue is coming to an end.
Known for its incisive and witty satire, and featuring a mix of sketches, musical numbers and hilarious parodies, this high energy revue of the year in politics is an absolute must-see.
Now, in its FINAL YEAR, comedy’s sharpest wits take on our who’s-who of politics in a show that will have you rolling in the aisles, whether you have your finger on the political pulse or not.
All your favourites return from across the years including former PMs Keating, Rudd, Gillard and Howard, wannabe PM Dutton and rabble-rousers such as Senators Hanson and Lambie. “We’ll serve one last term to max out the super and then try to pick up some kind of consultancy work or do a series of “Survivor” – look, it’s too early to say but it has been an honour to serve the Australian people,” a spokesperson said.
Join us for this joyous yet bitter-sweet send-off to one of the great national theatrical institutions before they step away from public life.
The Wharf Revue: The End Of The Wharf As We Know It – So funny it’ll have you laughing out loud. So true it’ll make you squirm.
