We're not upstanding and some of us aren't even citizens, but the Oxford Revue and Friends are bringing our laugh-out-loud stand-up showcase to the Fringe anyway. Join us for an evening of laughter as our comics cover topics including love bombing, virginity, the Chiltern Railways, cashmere, Faraday cages, restless cats, the psychic powers of Jesse Lingard, sticker books and the strange truth behind how the Clash wrote Rock the Casbah. With a rotating cast featuring amazing guests from Universities across the UK, it’s a new and hilarious show every night!
