Get your tail feathers ready for some dancing birds, catchy tunes and laughter! Inspired by true events of the Great Emu War of 1932, this 5-star comedy musical follows the Australian government’s futile attempts to fight some mischievous emus…


The Emu War was one of Edinburgh Fringe 2024’s hottest tickets! It was instantly featured by Playbill as one of their top international picks for the Fringe and was then followed by multiple sold-out shows and 5 star reviews! We’re thrilled to be flying out on a mini concert tour before a longer run in 2026… Come and see us! If that and dancing emus can’t convince you to come along, we don’t know what will…

“A hit waiting to happen.”
