WHARF REVUE: PRIDE IN PREJUDICE
For more than 20 years The Wharf Revue has delivered razor-sharp political satire to audiences in Sydney and around the country. Now, it’s Melbourne’s turn!
From the creator of the smash hit 'The Gospel According to Paul' that sold out its 2021 season at Arts Centre, join Jonathan Biggins and the Revue’s Team of Rivals as they step into the Melbourne spotlight with this year’s hilarious 'Pride in Prejudice'.
Featuring a line-up of characters including Anthony Albanese, Tanya Plibersek, Jacqui Lambie, Joe Biden, Sussan Ley and Peter Dutton, and riffing off shows including 'Q&A', 'Play School', Stephen Sondheim’s 'Company' and Rodgers & Hammerstein’s 'South Pacific', 'Pride in Prejudice' is: 'The quintessential take down of Australia’s most well-known pollies.' ABC.

Feedback/Comments
Brilliant in every way. What an amazingly talented group of performers! And any public figure could be a target for their satire. It was so clever and intertwining. I recommend it to everyone.
Great as always
So funny that I had a laughing fit and then other times it hit home with certain topics. Great show
All sides perfectly satirised with continual laughs. Amazing performance by a small cast to capture the nuances and essence of the many targets they played. Great fun.
This show was absolutely hilarious. Awesome performances from all actors. Laughed so much my cheeks ached. Definitely recommended to friends.
Don’t miss the best Australian political sprite a little nsw centric but hey that’s where they are from.
So they get to call it
Great show full of easy laughs. Politics portrayed in an easy and hilarious manner.
