The Wharf Revue, a satirical institution that has been skewering Australian politics and culture for a quarter of a century, has finally come to an end. But not before delivering one last devastating blow to the country’s politicians.
To have suggested 25 years ago that The Wharf Revue would last 25 years would have been one of the jokes. The outfit, which began as a humble theatre production in Sydney’s Wharf Theatre, was the brainchild of a group of satirists who wanted to create a show that would poke fun at the absurdities of Australian life.
Over the years, the show became a staple of the Australian comedy scene, delivering biting satire that left both politicians and audience members in stitches. From Paul Keating to Tony Abbott, no prime minister has been spared the Wharf Revue’s sharp wit and clever parody.
And as the show comes to an end, its cast and crew are going out with a bang. The final production is taking aim at the current state of Australian politics, with both Pauline Hanson and Anthony Albanese (also known as Albo) firmly in its sights.
The Wharf Revue has long been known for its ability to tackle even the most sensitive topics with humour and irreverence, and it looks like the final production will be no exception. With the country still reeling from the aftermath of the latest federal election, the show is set to deliver some serious laughs and timely commentary on the state of Australian politics.
As the curtains close on The Wharf Revue for the final time, it’s hard not to feel a sense of sadness. But the show has left an indelible mark on the Australian comedy scene, and its legacy will continue to be felt for years to come. And who knows? Maybe in another 25 years, we’ll look back on The Wharf Revue as one of the greatest satirical outfits of all time.
