A New Musical Comedy About Australia's Most Controversial Politician, Barnaby Joyce
Experience Barnaby: The Country Musical
The makers of the hit show "Gladys: A Musical Affair" are at it again with a musical tribute to "Australia's best retail politician", Barnaby Joyce. Gather round the old-fashioned microphone as the multi-instrumentalist Barnaby takes you on a musical ride through his life, accompanied by his crack country band and some very special guests. It's a B&S with no BS, a bush dance and a bluegrass hoedown as we take you from accountancy in the bush to the pavement in Canberra. In between, you’ll hear Barnaby tackling gay marriage, divorce and cancer, and of course, threatening to murder Johnny Depp’s dogs.
Secure your tickets now to see Barnaby: The Country Musical, the must-see independent Australian musical comedy coming to the Sydney Fringe in 2026!
