&#8220;the night was enjoyable, yet did not quite meet, and certainly did not surpass, the expectations one may have had for the line-up.&#8221; Camilla Turner

The Oxford Revue and Friends 
Review by Camilla Turner
In  the packed out Oxford Playhouse, comedy fans gathered in force to see what had  promised to be the very best in student comedy. In a one night only performance,  The Oxford Revue, Cambridge Footlights and the Durham Revue were set to ...]]></description>

Wednesday 5th May, 7.45p.m.
&#8220;As an exercise in throwing shit at the wall, however, it&#8217;s pleasantly surprising even at this early stage how much of it sticks.&#8221; Richard O&#8217;Brien 
&#8220;a cleverly constructed gag about the porn director Liberal Democrat candidate and a well hung parliament was only meekly greeted despite its admirable topicality on the eve of an election.&#8221; Roland McFall

&#8220;I think that Hughes tried to include the audience to a fault.  If he had not poked fun and had stuck more to the overall plot of his show, I would have found it to be more interesting.&#8221; Sarah Groneck 
&#8220;To begin with, Hughes not only greeted his audience, but made us greet each other, which met with mixed success. Generally, however, the audience were on good form all evening, and many of the most comic moments came from them&#8221; Claire Morley

Tuesday 23rd &#8211; Saturday 27th February, 9.30p.m.
&#8220;At just one hour long, this show promises to entertain, bemuse and excite even the most straight faced audience member.&#8221; Camilla Turner 
&#8220;The whole production in general contained elements of great British comedy; for instance the satirical touch and the reoccurring sketches running throughout the performance was very reminiscent of ‘Little Britain’, while anticipatory humour involving a painfully funny development to the climax is an approach used frequently in ‘Fawlty Towers’.&#8221; Catherine Owen

&#8220;The show was funny, but not gut-busting, it felt too amorphous and not quite weird enough.&#8221; Rebecca Whiteley

IMPerium 
Review by Rebecca Whiteley
‘Join us as we visit a place that has never before been seen’ say the Imps. If you’ve seen them at their regular spot at the Wheatsheaf then you probably have been somewhere similar. Although this is not necessarily a bad thing &#8211; the performers were as ingenious and hilarious as ever. ...]]></description>

&#8220;A play about tedium, then, that finds it hard not to veer on the tedious. I won&#8217;t say Yawn has no inner resources – it&#8217;s frequently funny, stylishly staged, and mostly well-acted – but behind the hot air and the encyclopaedic research, I don&#8217;t know how much heart, or point, this sparky but perhaps a little shallow script contains.&#8221; Richard O&#8217;Brien 
&#8220;The problem is that a clever concept (and randomly inserted poo references) can  only stretch so far.&#8221; Madeline Wright

The Wheatsheaf
&#8220;There was no question of an awkward turtle moment, no fear of a flop, stumbled or misdelivered punch line. We were completely dominated: I found myself helplessly swaying around in paroxysms of laughter, literally unable to stop the giggles.&#8221; Imogen Sarre 
&#8220;It was all round an excellent comedy performance, unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in Oxford,&#8221; Guy Davis

&#8220;A main feature of his performance is the inclusion of his self-described “very low energy musical whimsy”, which features a miniature electronic Yamaha that brings to mind more a child’s first keyboard than a comedian’s weapon of choice.&#8221; Liam Shaw 

David O&#8217;Doherty &#8211; David O&#8217;Doh-Party 
Review by Liam Shaw

“Why are my brakes squeaking?”
“Well, it could be one of two possible reasons…”
Not many comedians have a section of their act in which they offer advice for audience members’ bicycle-related problems. Yet David O’Doherty goes one better, incorporating ...]]></description>

Wadham College, Moser Theatre

Snow White and the Seven Vertically Challenged Treasure Hunters 
Review by James Garrett
“Snow White” asks you to suspend your suspension of disbelief as OULES reinvent this classic fairytale as a witty and somewhat risqué pantomime that works very well. The performance is littered with obligatory sexual innuendo and bad puns and yet dares ...]]></description>

&#8220;Any actress who plays Katisha, the unwanted bride of Nanki-Poo with “a caricature of a face”, can’t be vain, but Denhoed embraced Katisha’s overpowering undesirability and made the performance a delight.&#8221; Kirstin Hollingsworth 

The Mikado 
Review by Kirstin Hollingsworth
The start was unpromising- the curtain rose to a drably dressed seated chorus behind the Emperors of Japan, who were dressed in suits and at the mercy of a terrible dance routine. Would I need some of that champagne being served up on stage in ...]]></description>
