Annual Tour a Once in a 100 Year Event (According to Meteorologists).


The Chaser’s Charles Firth, The Shovel’s James Schloeffel and Mark Humphries (ABC-TV’s 7:30) have teamed up again this year to produce The War on 2022, an end-of-year live show with Australia’s leading satirists.

 

Joining the tour for the first time will be Gabbi Bolt, a musical comedian who has become one of Australia’s biggest TikTok stars off the back of her hilarious original songs.


“Gabbi has taken the Australian comedy scene by storm this year,” said Charles Firth. “She won Best Newcomer at the Sydney Comedy Festival 2022, Best of the Week at the Adelaide Fringe 2022, and the prestigious Moosehead Award at the Melbourne Comedy Festival last year. We’re fortunate to have her on board.”


Recently, Wil Anderson compared Gabbi Bolt to Tim Minchin. “If you want to be the kind of person that can say ‘I saw Tim Minchin before he was big,’ Gabbi’s that sort of act.”


The show is a fast-paced end-of-year wrap that has become a major fixture on the Australian comedy scene in recent years. It features a round-up of the top headlines from The Chaser and The Shovel, musical performances, political sketches and awkward audience interactions.


“This year, we’ll 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,” said Firth.

“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,” said Humphries.


“If you only go to one show this year, you really should be getting out more,” said James Schloeffel.


If satire's your style, get along to the Laycock Theatre (Central Coast) on 23 November or the Civic Theatre Newcastle on 24 November. Tickets are available now at www.chaser.com.au/live.
