# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Ben Elton | WA Stories Chapter III, Story 8
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 04 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Fri, 04 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm (+08:00)
- **Event Description**: There’s the comedy the world knows. And then there’s the love story that brought him here.

From The Young Ones and Blackadder to Mr. Bean and We Will Rock You, Ben Elton helped shape a generation of comedy with razor-sharp satire, political bite and fearless humour. But beyond the public persona lies the lesser-known story of a British provocateur who crossed the world and found a home in Western Australia.

Perth Symphony unveils a vivid musical portrait tracing Ben’s rise through Britain’s alternative comedy revolution of the 1980s and his evolution into one of WA’s most celebrated adopted creatives who has brought global acclaim to our arts scene over the past 40 years.

Presented in an exhilarating vocal-led format featuring a trio of vocalists, piano, rhythm section, strings and brass, the concert weaves together music that shaped Ben’s world, including  Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Proclaimers, The Specials and Noël Coward.

Guiding audiences through the story is acclaimed comedian and Barking Gecko Theatre Artistic Director Sam Longley, bringing warmth, wit and insight to a story built on contradiction, courage, comedy and romance.
