Jonathan Biggins OAM: Looking for Albanese and debating with dingoes


Listen Later

An acclaimed actor, director and writer, Jonathan Biggins has entertained audiences for decades with his wit, cheekiness, and a very healthy dose of irreverence. He’s played Peter Sellers, appeared in The Mikado, and directed Australian productions of Avenue Q and Noises Off. But his most well-known work is in political satire, as one of the brains behind, and a performer in, The Wharf Revue, which has been going strong since 2000.

The Wharf Review is back, playing at the Seymour Centre until the 23rd of December, for their new show Looking for Albanese. Jonathan joins Simon Moore to share some stories of the world of satirical comedy from his long career, what’s changed and what hasn’t, the perils of impersonating someone who happens to be sitting in the audience in front of you, and presents a diverse selection of music that he’s encountered in his travels.
