The Wharf Revue was a series of musical comedy revues presented by the Sydney Theatre Company. Each show features four comedians – usually Jonathan Biggins, Phillip Scott and Drew Forsythe, accompanied by a female performer – satirising media personalities and political events in sketches and songs. Female Wharf Revue performers have included Amanda Bishop, Genevieve Lemon, Jacki Weaver and Helen Dallimore (filling in), with Amanda Bishop having been the regular performer since 2017.
The revue has become something of a Sydney cultural institution.
