Jack & Michael Whitehall Live

29-30 January 2025
07:00 pm

Comedy / Royal Theatre

Jack Whitehall and his father Michael are stopping off from their travels to bring you an extra chapter of their adventures.

Get all the backstories you could ever need with Hilary on hand to referee when it all gets too heated.

Expect tall tales, family secrets and rare revealing photographs from the family album.

Together, Jack and Michael have survived naked yoga, Chernobyl’s toilet facilities and, most recently, struggles with fatherhood as they bring a brand-new Whitehall into the world.

They have been exploring the world for years in their smash-hit Netflix series. Now Michael is reversing the tour bus into a parking space near you.

Will they make it to the theatre in time?

Tantrums, rants and pranks guaranteed (as long as Jack books the babysitter)!

PS: If you're attending the show, why not make a night of it and enjoy a pre-show cocktail or dinner at Crowne Plaza Canberra?

This event is over multiple nights, please check the event listings upon Booking*

Tyler Childers - Mule Pull Tour

16 February 2025
Sunday

Live Show / Royal Theatre

Tyler Childers and his longtime band, The Food Stamps, will embark on the Australia/New Zealand leg of the ‘Mule Pull Tour’ in February 2025!
GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter and musician Tyler Childers is “one of country music’s most compelling and unpredictable artists” (Associated Press). Adding to an already triumphant career, Childers released his acclaimed new album, Rustin’ In The Rain, this past fall via Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records, which includes the GRAMMY and ACM-nominated single, "In Your Love.” Since its release, “In Your Love” has broken into the top 35 on the Mediabase Country chart, garnered over 10 million video views, 180 million on-demand streams and received praise from outlets such as NPR Music, Billboard, Pitchfork, Stereogum, The Advocate and Rolling Stone, who declares, “the music video of compassion and caring we need right now,” while USA Today calls the video “a much-needed portrait of inclusivity.”

Since his 2017 debut, Childers has released three additional albums and performed countless sold-out shows across the world. Known for his electric live concerts, the Kentucky native recently kicked off his extensive “Mule Pull ’24 Tour” with sold-out shows at Inglewood’s Kia Forum, Austin’s Moody Center, two nights at New York's Madison Square Garden and two nights at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, of which The Tennessean praised, “a powerfully emotional performance...[Childers] emerged in Nashville as a confident arena superstar.” Additional tour stops include Chicago’s United Center (sold out), Boulder’s Folsom Field and Washington State’s Gorge Amphitheatre (sold out) among many others.
