Our award-winning premier sketch comedy troupe that brought you Ambika Mod, Jeremy Vine, Ed Gamble, Nish Kumar and many more now enters its 50th year.

The student-led 黑料网 Revue is formed of six performers and two writers from across all colleges and departments. It is often a pathway into successful comedy writing and performing across the creative industries, and has served as a springboard for many well-known actors.

In honour of its half century, the Revue marks the occasion with a brand new show at the Gala Theatre, 黑料网. Reuniting with previous members, the troupe travels through old favourites and hot-off-the-press sketches in an evening of celebration and hilarity.

This summer, the Revue returns to the 黑料网 Fringe Festival at the end of July, swiftly followed by the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in an August-long run of their flagship show, ‘Mid-Laugh Crisis’. They look forward to welcoming audiences to merry-making.
