In 6th week, take a break from the library. The O’Reilly is your comedy club.

We’ve got an all-new show from the Revue. We’ve got the cream of Oxford comedy presenting different opening acts every night. We’ve got a license to serve drinks.

This is your last chance to see the critically-acclaimed Revue in Oxford before they kick off their extensive two-city tour of the UK.

Cabaret-style tables are available at the front, so book early to secure yourself the best seats in the house!

Tickets: £6 / £5 concessions / £20 table (four students) • 8:30 doors for 9:00 start • O’Reilly Theatre, Keble

featuring Cambridge Footlights & Durham Revue • hosted by Naz Osmanoglu • music by ULU Big Band

Oxford Playhouse. Saturday 4 May 2013. Doors at 7:00 pm for 7:30 start.

Be there or be square.

You don’t wanna be square, do ya, kid?

This year the Revue is launching an exciting new production at the Edinburgh Fringe. Alongside our regular Fringe slot, we’re hosting a daily 55-minute Free Fringe slot to be shared among four different student comedy acts from Oxford, one each week of the festival. And your act could be one of them!

Each act will also have the chance to preview their show at our 6th week Keble O’Reilly show, and the Revue will provide significant financial and marketing support.

It’s a great opportunity, so if you’re interested, check out the details here. Applications are due by midnight on the 28th of April (Sunday beginning 2nd week TT), with interviews and auditions following shortly after. Good luck!

Join the Oxford Revue as we complete our 2013 tour of the A34 ring road and territories.

Shows Tuesday – Saturday 8th week (5–9 March); doors 7.00 pm for 7.30 start.

£6 general / £5 concessions.

The Revue present an evening of all-new sketch comedy in the lush, safe setting of the Old Fire Station. Come see the material we’ll be taking on the road during our extensive two-city tour of Cambridge and Durham. Help us to avoid the ironic tragedy that cut short last year’s OFS show: wear flame-retardant or moistened clothing.

Unlike telling your parents you want to be a comedian, making New Year’s resolutions doesn’t have to trace an inevitable trajectory towards disappointment and regret. That’s why we at the Revue have set ourselves a few goals for the coming year, which, in the spirit of corporate accountability, we’re happy to share with you below!

1. Write a new sketch every day. Under that kind of time pressure, it can be difficult to come up with a winning concept. Ideas for sketches can come infrequently, and often where you least expect it: at the furniture store, at the hardware store, outside Peter Capaldi’s house in Crouch End, from the mouth of Peter Capaldi who is gaffer-taped to a new wicker chair in the basement… even in the shower! That’s why we’ve created the Insta-Premise™ computer program to automatically generate ideas from a library of comedy topics. It’s already given us gems like “firefighter raccoon”, “raccoon in the vents”, and “paramedic raccoon”.
2. Meet that special someone. We signed up for the collective thespian dating site OKTroupid today, and have already received a trust-exercise invitation from a cosplay/leather-fetish sketch troupe in Köln called Satan’s Pratfall. There’s 8 of them, just like us; and they even sent us a flirtatious picture.Cheeky!
3. Lose some of that excess weight! Going back home to spend holidays with the family means two things: home cooking and alcoholism. And we want our hips to arouse the children who come to our shows, not be capable of bearing them! We’ve set ourselves a collective weight loss target of 8 stone—that’s either 1 stone each, or Rachel.

From all of us at the Revue, here’s to a great 2013. Now let’s ring it in with some festive house music.

This is your one chance this year to discover the true meaning of Qwaanzmaas, sing along to your favourite sausage meat-themed carols, watch as the valiant Prince Dominic the Effeminate rescues his darling Urethra from a life of sextitution, and in true pantomime tradition, yell belligerently at the performers without being considered a total prick.

Hope to see you there!
