WHAT’S ON

Four adults stand side by side against a gradient grey background, each with a thoughtful or curious expression. Three men wear jackets and shirts, and the woman on the far right wears a white top and touches her neck.

THE YEAR IN TATTERS

The revue tradition returns to Sydney as four of Australia’s sharpest comedic performers cast a satirical eye over the highs and lows of 2026. Keep checking the calendar for last minute tickets to this otherwise sold-out show.

An older man with glasses and a Santa hat stands against a red background, wearing a dark jumper and wrapped in glowing white fairy lights. He has grey hair and a beard, and looks at the camera with a neutral expression.

SNOWFLAKE

Mike Bartlett’s SNOWFLAKE is a laugh-out-loud, lump-in-your-throat festive showdown about generational differences and why it’s never just “pass the gravy.”

A man with a large moustache and beard, wearing a vintage brown striped swimming costume, stands inside an orange lifebuoy and looks upwards with a playful expression against a plain background.

From the team behind the hit MIDNIGHT MURDER AT HAMLINGTONHALL, MIDNIGHT MURDER ON THE CHRISTMAS CRUISE OF DEATH promises more of the same — but with water.

SLEEPING DOGS

SLEEPING DOGS

A Lifetime Achievement Award… and a lifetime of unfinished business. In the world premiere of David Williamson's new social satire, family tensions flare and buried truths are unleashed with signature comedic bite.

LIFE X 3

LIFE X 3

Yasmina Reza’s LIFE X 3 is a wickedly incisive, Olivier Award–nominated comedy that proves one socially disastrous evening can unravel in more ways than you ever imagined.

SPLIT ENDS

SPLIT ENDS

Bursting with razor-sharp wit, big laughs and plenty of style, Brittanie Shipway’s new Australian comedy is a warm, prickly celebration of local legends who prove it’s never too late for a fresh cut — or to find your true colours.
