A stalwart of political satire, funnyman Max Gillies brings his new show to QPAC this November, cataloguing some of his most infamous characters in Once Were Leaders.
Forget about Joe Hockey and the ‘budget deficit’ for a minute... is Australia suffering a leadership deficit? There was a time when politicians could inspire us. But were they really better than the current crop or has our perception benefited from the passage of time?
Max Gillies has been a keen observer of the political combat zone for half a century. His fascination with the ups and downs of political leadership has seen him parody everyone from Hawke to Thatcher and many more.
Once Max used to apply make-up, wigs and prosthetic enhancements in order to disguise himself. He doesn’t have those bits and pieces anymore. But he has accumulated a rich collection of caricatures. Once Were Leaders sees Max share his memories of a life spent on the fringes of power, mining the archive for his favourite game changing speeches.
