What happens when a jazz-loving, joke-cracking ABC radio host takes to the stage with his saxophone and a killer organ quartet?

You get James Valentine’s Upbeat Revue—an unmissable afternoon of live music and comedy, because why choose just one?

Expect modern hits from James Taylor, George Michael, and Burt Bacharach, reimagined with sizzling organ riffs. Plus, sharp comic detours and hilarious radio stories from James’ life on air—ones you didn’t get to hear.

Best known as the voice of Afternoons on ABC, James brings his razor-sharp wit and radio mischief to the stage, backed by his powerhouse jazz quartet: Darren Heinrich (organ), Sam Rollings (guitar), and Nic Cecire (drums).

Forget stiff concerts—this is an afternoon of witty anecdotes, funky grooves, and sax solos that still get you home in time for dinner.

Music. Laughs. A dangerously good time.
