After award-winning runs at the Adelaide, Newcastle and Sydney Fringe Festivals, Marcel Cole is bringing his hit show ‘The Ukulele Man’ to Brisbane for the first time!
The Show:
‘The Ukulele Man’ is the true story of wartime comedian and ukulele legend George Formby. From the music halls of Blackpool to the battlefields of Europe, this is the untold history of Britain’s greatest entertainer!
He was banned by the BBC and declared insane by his wife, yet still became the UK’s biggest star. Join Marcel Cole and his real life mother Katie for an hour of music, comedy and storytelling as they take you back to an era when live entertainment was king.
‘Cole is a stunner… Don’t miss this.’ – The Barefoot Review
