News Revue 2002

I must confess that I am huge fan of New Revue, and it is always one of the first shows I look for in each years Fringe Programme

I thought last years show would take some topping, but I think this years version manages to do so.

In some respects it's more of the same, 2 girls, two boys a musical director and nearly an hours mixture of music and biting satire. Is it just another helping of the same? No way. From the opening ditty ' Leader of Iraq' I was enthralled.

Nobody is safe, politicians, Royalty, George W, Becks, Sven are just a few who get the treatment. The best skits? I'm hard pushed to pick between 'I've got you Jade' and the Jamie Oliver inspired 'I'm born to fry'

I would recommend this show to anyone why loves to see Celebes lampooned, and I'm already looking forward to next years show, this one finished far too quickly.

Venue  34,   C Chambers Street,

July 31  to  August 25 (not 13)
