		Personally we were awaiting The Cambridge Footlights with eager anticipation, knowing that this is where the likes of Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Tony Slattery began their careers.
		When the comperes came back on there was a great cheer of relief and a general feeling of hope that Durham Revue would not let us down.
		This year we feel like we've exorcised all the ghosts." Durham Revue left the stage to a standing ovation which, although probably partly due to the fact that they were the only Revue worth seeing, was still deserved.

		The Footlights and I had never previously met, so I don't know if they're worse than they used to be.
		It is an incredibly derivative one and a half hours (maybe because last summer's Edinburgh show flopped they all had time to take notes from proper comedians), but I had a good time all the same.
		Perhaps it's asking a bit much to expect new comic genres to be forged every term at the ADC, but this revue is so formulaic you could sit there with a checklist and tick off this year and last's hot stuff.

		Finally, in 1955, his penultimate year at Radley, Cook started staging his own revues, playing a dung beetle, demonstrating a fascination for insects that would last throughout his life, and audaciously lampooning the BBC bigwigs who'd been invited along to cast a critical eye over Radley's amateur dramatics.
		The Footlights president, Adrian Slade, persuaded Cook to reprise his impression of Mr Boylett, the Radley butler, at a Footlights smoker, and by 1959 Cook had become an integral member of the Footlights team.
		Set in a nuclear bunker, Bird's show was a self-conscious left-wing revolt against the cheerful but complacent house style of previous Footlights revues.

	Theatre Review: Oxford Revue
		The Oxford Revue, as hosts, take the entirety of the first half, while the Durham Revue and the Footlights divide the second half between them.
		Their sketches are less polished than those of the Oxford Revue — several of them seem to tail off without really coming to any particular conclusion, giving rather the impression of being ideas that might be fully developed at some later stage.
		The Oxford and Cambridge performances are Revue in the true sense of the word; they essentially consist of a large group of comedians loosely co-operating on a mixed bag of comedy sketches.

		Among the many illustrious figures who began their careers in Cambridge Footlights or in revues at Oxford were Humphrey Barclay, David Frost, Tim Brooke-Tailor, Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden, Jo Kendall, David Hatch, Jonathan Lynn, Tony Hendra, and Trevor Nunn.
		And then we did an Oxford revue called "Loitering Within Tent" -- it was a revue done in a tent -- and he and I worked out a sequence called the "Slapstick Sequence" [in which a professor introduces demonstrations of various laugh-inducing pratfalls].
		Later when the Footlights Revue (which obviously didn't have Graham in it) transferred to London, Anthony Buffery did not want to stay with the show very long, and his place was taken by Graham.

		It’s a totally unserious look at the world of Shakespeare, his plays and their actors, done in a traditional revue format of songs and sketches, with extracts from musicals, plays, comic novels, Music Hall numbers, Cambridge Footlights, and quite a number of new items written specifically for the show.

		A lot of the other clubs tended to have a predominant class or predominant attitude; the Footlights crowd were very mixed and very good company, very amusing, and a lot less intense and serious and dedicated than the drama societies, who (it seemed to us) took themselves a bit seriously.
		A Footlights-type revue was brought every Christmas to the patients in the wards, with all the people Graham worked with—Cleese, Bill Oddie, Jo Kendall, all the cast of "Cambridge Circus"—moving from ward to ward.

		Although it was a very polished performance and there were a few funny sketches and songs, their use of shock tactics produced mainly nervous laughter from the audience.
		Their set consisted of whimsical, original sketches with hilarious songs that got you tapping your feet, dance moves which were unbelievably ‘arty’ and painfully funny gymnastics.
		It was no secret that the audience were biased, but the ‘Durham Revue’ used the home turf to their advantage and they genuinely seemed to be having fun.
