I thought it might be helpful to summarize the details about The Goodies shows to be held in the Sydney area in October.  Tim & Graeme will be appearing in person, with Bill on screen, in a show hosted by Andrew Hansen of The Chaser.  The show will be performed at both Parramatta's Riverside Theatre and on both days of the World's Funniest Island festival. 

Tickets are on sale for all shows.

My understanding is that the show will not be held in any other cities, due to the limited amount of time Tim & Graeme had available to visit Australia (because of their other professional commitments).


SHOW DESCRIPTION:

THE GOODIES
BEFORE, DURING & AFTER
Tim Brooke-Taylor & Graeme Garden
(with Bill Oddie’s video bits)
hosted by The Chaser’s Andrew Hansen

One for the fans and we know there are many! The Goodies back onstage in Sydney four years after the legendary “Still Alive” tour that sold out around Australia. An informal chat with jokes, clips and definitely no pyrotechnics. Otherwise “Anything. Anytime. Anywhere”.
