About The Manchester Revue
The Manchester Revue returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for their sixth year with a fresh set of sketches. This 50-minute sketch show and revue is performed by a student and youth company at Subway. The comic premise for this year's show: a meteor is headed straight for Edinburgh, targeting their very venue after the final sketch, and the only way to stop it is to reminisce on the best things humanity has to offer. Tickets are £8, and the show is for audiences aged 18 and over. Strong language is featured.
Why see this show?
The Manchester Revue have been coming to the Fringe long enough to know how to put a show together, and this year they have given themselves a genuinely absurd premise to work with. Expect the weird, wacky and wonderful — and possibly a meteor strike.
