Guinness World Record-breaking NewsRevue (47 years!), makes its debut in Pleasance One. If the news has got you down, this is your antidote. Expect four preposterously talented performers, a brilliant musical director on keys and a barrage of hilarious sketches and parody songs that don't require you to know the headlines. From felon presidents wreaking havoc, disgraced royals, to the rise of AI and Ozempic – we've got it covered. Celebrating her 25th year, producer Emma Taylor cites 'a rite of passage for all comedy newcomers' (Chortle.co.uk) and 'NewsRevue continues to reign supreme' (Guardian) as favourite all-time quotes.
