WORLD PREMIERE
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!
Join Andrew Hansen (The Chaser), Mark Humphries (7.30), Chris Taylor (The Chaser) and Christie Whelan Browne (Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell) as they fearlessly skewer the year in politics, culture and everything in between.
THE YEAR IN TATTERS is the antidote we all need to these increasingly uncertain times, promising a hilarious night of sketches, songs and lawsuits in the making.
