Rugby League the Musical: Saturday October 11
Australia’s hardest working sports satirist, Denis Carnahan is bringing his hilarious one-man musical comedy show Rugby League the Musical to Vikings Sports Club on Saturday October 11 with his 2025 Season Review and Grand Final wrap up.
From early this season, there have been so many things to review – inflatable bats in hotels, crackdowns, backdowns, halfback merry-go-rounds, the return of the Bears, players leaving the worst club in the league, only to find themselves at the worst club in the league, coaching blowups, and the hottest wooden spoon battle ever.
Rugby League has all the elements to make it The Greatest Musical of All – except music. Carnahan just adds the music. He doesn’t have to make up the stories, because Rugby League’s narrative is way more creative, theatrical and far-fetched than any music theatre librettist would dare to write.
The result is a hilarious mix of musical satire, parody, sketch and stand-up comedy presented as a cabaret, complete with complementary half time oranges.
Producer/performer Denis Carnahan has been writing sports parody songs for almost two decades, starting with The Footy Show and moving on to Fox Sports, The Matty Johns Show and Triple M’s Grill Team, as well as for various club presentations and functions.
For the past five years he’s also written a song every week of the footy season in “Denis Carnahan’s Song of the Week” which airs on ABC Sport every Sunday.
Get your retro Rugby League gear on and bring your team together at Vikings Sports Club for a hilarious night celebrating the Greatest Game of All.
📅 Saturday October 11.
⏱️ 7pm – 9:30pm.
