Barra is performing in NewsRevue, for the Election Period at the Canal Cafe Theatre

April 22nd to the 30th of May 2010.

The format is simple. Take two boys, two girls, a director, a musical director and a team of writers. Allow to simmer for nine days and then cut out up to forty sketches and songs and serve for four nights a week.

Newsrevue is a fast-paced show of hilarious sketches and songs based on absolutely anything in the news—politics, sport, celebrities—from The Lords to Lords, from the Middle East's Jordan to the Sun's Jordan.

Updated on a weekly basis, Newsrevue is an excellent night out for anyone who enjoys a laugh.

Over the years, the show has won the Fringe First Award and a Perrier nomination in Edinburgh, won rave reviews from the national press, recorded many TV & radio specials and helped begin the careers of Rory Bremner, Michelle Collins, Josie Lawrence & Bill Bailey.

The constant updating of material and faces has allowed Newsrevue to build up a cult following in London and beyond. In July 2004, as it celebrated its twenty-fifth birthday, Newsrevue was awarded a Guinness World Record for the longest theatrical run of a comedy show.
