About the Show
The format is simple. Take two boys, two girls, a director, a musical director and a team of writers. Allow to simmer for nine days and then cut out up to forty sketches and songs and serve for four nights a week.
Updated on a weekly basis, Newsrevue is an excellent night out for anyone who enjoys a laugh.
Over the years, the show has won the Fringe First Award and a Perrier nomination in Edinburgh, won rave reviews from the national press, recorded many TV & radio specials and helped begin the careers of Rory Bremner, Michelle Collins, Josie Lawrence & Bill Bailey. The constant updating of material and faces has allowed Newsrevue to build up a cult following in London and beyond. As of July 2004, Newsrevue is proud to have been awarded the Guiness World Record for the longest theatrical run of a comedy show, as it celebrates its twenty-fifth birthday.
