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.
NewsRevue is a fast-paced show of hilarious
sketches and songs based on absolutely anything in the news -- politics, sport,
celebrities -- from The Lords to Lords, from the Middle East's Jordan to the
Sun's Jordan.
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 Guinness World Record for the
longest theatrical run of a comedy show, as it celebrates its twenty-fifth
birthday.
