A fast-paced end-of-year wrap featuring members of The Chaser and The Shovel performing musical numbers, political sketches and having awkward audience interactions is coming to Newcastle.
The Chaser’s Charles Firth, The Shovel’s James Schloeffel and Mark Humphries have teamed up again this year to produce The War on 2022 live show.
Musical comedian and TikTok star, Gabbi Bolt will also join the tour that hits Newcastle in November.
“Gabbi has taken the Australian comedy scene by storm this year,” Charles Firth said.
“She won Best Newcomer at the Sydney Comedy Festival 2022, and Best of the Week at the Adelaide Fringe 2022, and last year won the prestigious Moosehead Award at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. We’re incredibly lucky to have her on board.”
The show, which has become a major fixture on the Australian comedy scene in recent years, will leave no stone unturned.
“This year the show touch on hilarious topics such as the war in Ukraine, the impending climate apocalypse, destruction of women’s bodily autonomy in America and how to be as charismatic as Peter Dutton,” Charles said.
“This year, we’re thinking of holding the whole event in a field of mud. It worked for Splendour in the Grass, so we thought we should give it a try,” Mark Humphries added.
The War on 2022 will hit the stage at the Civic Theatre in Newcastle on Thursday, 24 November. Tickets are available now from chaser.com.au/live
