The Wharf Revue 2011 November 7, 2011

A Sydney institution for over a decade, The Wharf Revue returns in November 2011 with Debt Defying Acts!, playing at Riverside Theatres from Monday, 7 November to Saturday, 12 November.

The outrageously talented team, led by Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott step up to serve up their special blend of side-splitting sketches and musical hilarity, packed full of its trademark up-to-the-second satire of contemporary politics and popular culture, which has made the show such a hit with Sydneysiders year after year.

“A favourite with audiences across Sydney, The Wharf Revue has been returning to Riverside Theatres annually since 2002 and we warmly welcome the team’s return this year. The Wharf Revue’s fresh and exploratory take on politics and popular culture is not to be missed. We urge everyone to come along and laugh at some of the most topical and bizarre happenings of the year,” said Director of Riverside Theatres, Robert Love.
