Hello! We’re the Durham Revue, Durham University’s premier sketch comedy troupe. We are proud of our long history of writing and performing our sketches in Durham and beyond, most notably in Edinburgh for our month-long run at the Fringe every August. We are also proud of our successful alumni, that includes the likes of Nish Kumar, Ambika Mod, Stevie Martin and many more.

​

Last year, we were chuffed to win the Derek Award for ‘Best Sketch Show of the Fringe’ for Sketch Marks the Spot. This year, after successes in Durham at ComedyFest 2026 and Are You Having a Laugh? we are proud to return to Durham and Edinburgh Fringe for an all-new show, Raiders of the Lost Laughs.

​

You can catch our show at the Drayton Arms Theatre in London, the City Theatre in Durham and Underbelly Cowgate in Edinburgh this summer. It is not one to miss.

​

“Simply put, they were the full package: wit, warmth, hilarity, and chemistry rolled into one extraordinary evening. Edinburgh Fringe won’t know what’s hit it, and I urge any comedy enthusiast to catch them there while they can.” - Palatinate (Five Stars)
