The creative team of Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott will present The Wharf Revue: Pride In Prejudice at Sydney's Seymour Centre from November 8-December 10.
Biggins and Forsythe will be joined on stage by Mandy Bishop and new musical director Andrew Warboys, in a show that will tackle all the hot political topics of the year - from Peter Dutton upping the "anti" on The Voice to the government's "hoarding of frequent flyer points".
"Pride in prejudice? In today's digital Colosseum, it's a big thumbs-up for bigotry - ironic that while the polar icecaps melt, the world's becoming more polarised," the show's creators said in a statement.
While the financial news has been bad, as the cost of living continues to rise, the team's number crunchers have managed to come up with a positive spin for lovers of satire.
"Satirical content is up by 7 per cent and the average laughter quotient is indexed at 8.3 per cent over the forward estimates, but The Wharf Revue defies the cost-of-living pressure by keeping the ticket price at the same level as last year! Take that, Phillip Lowe!" The statement said.
Performance times are 6:30pm Tuesday to Wednesday and 7.30pm Thursday-Saturday, with matinees at 1pm on Wednesdays, 2pm on Saturdays and 5pm on Sundays.
Senior tickets are $80 or $75 for concession card holders.
