The first show of the 2021 summer season at The Joan is the final curtain call for two decades of the long-standing The Wharf Revue.
It's a beginning and an ending all in one.
Good Night and Good Luck marks the end of an era with a night of sketches, songs and side-splitting satire by the comedy trio Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott, reuniting for one last time with their dazzling accomplice, Mandy Bishop.
It's good night and good luck to the comedy juggernaut that's been keeping the bastards honest since 2000.
The bad news is that the planet is on fire and our world leaders are barely qualified to run a chook raffle.
And the good? The Wharf Revue has fake news, fake hair and real laughs in abundance. No one is safe and no topic too taboo.
You'll laugh, you'll cry. You'll want to move to New Zealand.
"Its best material is so hysterical that twice I was brought to tears - an activity usually reserved for funerals, Puccini and hitting my thumb with a hammer," a review in the Sydney Morning Herald said.
Don't miss The Wharf Revue: Good Night and Good Luck when it heads to Penrith for three big nights (and one afternoon) at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre on Thursday, January 21, and Friday, January 22, at 7.30pm and Saturday, January 23, at 2pm and 7.30pm.
