Another year under your belt and little-to-nothing to show for it? Not to fear, four of Australia’s funniest satirists are teaming up to end the year with a banging series of live shows. All’s well that ends well, right?
Featuring The Chaser’s Charles Firth, The Shovel’s James Schloeffel and ABC’s Mark Humphries, these three comedians are joining forces one again for The War on 2022 – and this time around, they're bringing newcomer and musical comedian, Gabbi Bolt, along for the ride.
Kicking off an Aussie tour November 23, the funny group will be sharing their hot takes and outrageous jokes around the country before landing in Melbourne Saturday December 3. As the name suggests, the show offers up a fast paced and hilarious wrap up of the year past featuring some of the The Chaser’s and The Shovel’s best one-liners, upbeat musical acts, and outrageous sketches.
Teasing some of the material for the upcoming shows, Firth wryly tells us they'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.”
Firth also mentions that the group are lucky to have Gabbi on board for the shows, after taking the TikTok comedy community by storm. And as a further a testament to her skill, comedian Wil Anderson even compared her to Tim Minchin, saying: “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.”
