The Ukulele Man: The Story of George Formby

‘A hugely enjoyable, brilliantly executed cabaret experience’ City News

This award-winning show from the 2023 Sydney Fringe Festival is the story of the Northern English wartime entertainer and ukulele legend George Formby.

With a toothy grin and a turnip face, he sang cheeky songs and won the hearts of the nation.

From the youngest ever jockey to England’s most popular film star, and from a troubled marriage to a premature death, George Formby touched the hearts of millions… and when he died, more than 150,000 people lined the route of his funeral procession.

It remains the largest funeral there has ever been for a show business personality… so it’s turned out nice again, hasn’t it?
