THE END OF THE WHARF AS WE KNOW IT
After an illustrious 25-year run in the bright yet unforgiving spotlight of political satire, The Wharf Revue is bidding farewell.
Their last hurrah for Dubbo Region audiences will be held at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre (DRTCC) on Tuesday 11 March 2025.
Performing Arts and Venues Coordinator Tiffany Rowland said the show would be sorely missed and encouraged residents to book early to avoid missing out, as tickets are selling fast.
“The Wharf Revue has been a cherished addition to our lineup, drawing increasing audiences each year. As they retire the show, 2025 marks the final opportunity for Australia, particularly Dubbo Region patrons, to experience The Wharf Revue… as we know it.”
Over the years, a colourful array of public figures has graced the show and will join audiences for their final bow - from Keating, Howard, Downer, and Costello, to Gillard, Abbott, Carr, and many more.
Meanwhile, today’s torchbearers of democracy like Lambie, Hanson, Bandt, Dutton, and Albo are set to make appearances, creating a veritable "Who's Who" of Australian politics.
The Wharf Revue spokesperson said it was time for them to focus on family.
“Ultimately, this is about renewal. We’ll serve one last term to max out the super and then maybe we will dive into consultancy or even a stint on Survivor—it’s too early to tell, but it’s been an honour to entertain the Australian public,” the spokesperson said.
With ‘A Million Reasons’ to visit the theatre in 2025, it is time to gather your mates for this hilarious yet bittersweet farewell to one of Australia’s iconic theatrical comedy institutions, though in lieu of flowers, the audience’s laughter is the greatest tribute – and that’s the performers’ request!
The Wharf Revue will be performed at 7:30pm, on Tuesday 11 March.
