Since its premiere in 2019, the smash hit comedy The Gospel According to Paul has taken the country by storm, selling out venues across the nation and attracting widespread acclaim from audiences and critics alike.

Jonathan Biggins stars in this appropriately acerbic and always compelling portrait of Paul Keating, one of Australia’s most charismatic leaders. Full of intelligence and wit, The Gospel According to Paul is a funny, insightful, and poignant depiction of Keating, the man who — as he tells it — single-handedly shaped contemporary Australia.

Showcasing the former Prime Minister’s eviscerating wit, rich rhetoric, and ego the size of Everest, Biggins distils Keating into one hilarious and evocative night of theatre — the visionary, reformer, rabble-rouser, and Bankstown boy who quickly realised that to get things done in political life, it’s better to be needed than loved.
