Will Pope Louis Dawson-Jones Pete Simpson James Alexander 2nd-22nd August 2014 An hour of live pre-recorded sketch comedy that we had gone and wrote. Completely free, and with free sweets to boot, we flyered this show all day every day knowing that it was really bleedin' good fun, and the people that came and watched it might have thought so too!

Pete Simpson Hugh Stanley Hector Dyer James Alexander Hannah Horan Owen Petty As part of the Bristol Revunions (NASTa Comedy Awards Winner May '13) double billing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe they served up a lightning speed hour of fresh double cream sketch comedy that didn't leave the audience alone until they had stopped laughing and wiped the sweat from their faces. Following their first dipping into the PBH Free Fringe at the 2012 Fringe, the Revunions doubled their stay this time round, making the Dram House their home for the whole month, with double the goodness. The Dram House, Niddry Street, 3rd-24th August (not 13th)
"the energy is catching, and the show genuinely enjoyable" ★★★ Second on this award winning group's bill at the Fringe was their show Elegant Nymphs. The dramatic story of four hardy Nymphs in search of the fame, dignity and literary respect they previously felt they deserved all their insignificant lives. Needless to say, no was ever going to care about them so people just laughed. A lot. But that was good because it was comedy show. You really thought all that stuff earlier was meant to serious? BAH! For their 5th consecutive year at the Fringe, the Revunions put on a stormer and there was also a storm. Just the Tonic at the Caves, Just Up the Stairs, Cowgate, 1st-25th August (not 13th) "they can and will have sex with you without you knowing" ★★★★ "bursting with energy, wit and genius comic timing" ★★★

"One of the best sketches you will find in Edinburgh this August" (The Edinburgh Evening News- 2011) "Beautifully crafted sketches... the Revunions throw sketch after hilarious sketch at the audience with more twists and turns than a seriously bent Twizzler" (The U-Review- 2011) "The writing was some of the most impressive I think I've ever heard... Nothing short of incredible" (Ed Fringe Review- 2011) |
