Details

Come see Oxford’s oldest comedy group, the Oxford Revue, at The Old Fire Station for two nights only in “It’s Not Me, It’s Revue”! Brace yourselves for a night of sketch, stand-up, musical comedy, and perhaps even some Valentine’s Day heartbreak (for our cast members, once their partners see them doing sketch comedy). 

Since its mysterious foundation in the 1950s, the Oxford Revue, Oxford’s oldest comedy group, has produced a number of the UK’s best-loved comedians, with the likes of Stewart Lee, Maggie Smith, Al Murray, Rowan Atkinson, Sally Phillips, Armando Iannucci, and one third of Monty Python in the form of Michael Palin and Terry Jones as former members. So, an opportunity to see our new members is hardly an opportunity to be missed! 

Following the Revue’s hugely successful Edinburgh Fringe 2024 run, and a year of sold-out comedy shows held monthly at the Library Pub and Jericho Tavern in Oxford, this is certainly not a show to be missed! So, bring your Valentine’s dates, bring your friends, bring your enemies – we promise we won’t break their hearts on Valentine’s Day (because our shows are after Valentine’s Day…)
