Garth Russell will hit the stage at The Playhouse in March with his brand new show, Being Billy.

The show embodies Billy Connolly’s spirit and playful mischief taking audiences on a wild ride through a series of entertaining (and mostly true!) stories and life experiences. It will remind you why laughing at yourself is so important, and lift the lid on the craziness of being human.

Think of it as a comedic therapy session, but way cheaper (and probably more fun).

Best described as a comedic therapy session, the show will transport back to a time when being different was cool, and life was anything but beige.

Being Billy is all about embracing the absurdities of life and celebrating what makes us unique. If you’re tired of blending in, this show is your chance to let your freak flag fly (metaphorically, of courseโ€ฆ unless you really want to).

Being Billy will hit the stage at the Civic Theatre Playhouse on 6 – 7 March 2025. For full show information and tickets visit civictheatrenewcastle.com.au.
