Marcel Cole and his mother Katie are bringing their hit show The Ukulele Man on the road to The Gunnedah Civic Theatre.
The Gunnedah appearance follows sold out and award-winning runs across the Australian Fringe Festival Circuit.
In partnership with Gunnedah Conservatorium and Arts North West, the sensational story of George Formby is set to delight local audiences on July 18, 2025.
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 powerhouse mother and son duo Marcel and Katie Cole for an hour of music, comedy and storytelling as they take you back to an era when live performance was king and pay homage to the greatest entertainer of them all.
Some critics reviews include comments such as “Cole is a stunner… Don’t miss this.” and “Hugely enjoyable, brilliantly executed.”
Marcel Cole spent 10 years training to be a ballet dancer but then realised he had more fun making people laugh than being beautiful and so now after studying theatre, mime and clown in London and Paris, he is touring the world with his award-winning shows.
