Revan and Fennell: Edinburgh Preview

Award-winning comedy double act, Revan and Fennell, present an hour of observational and character-driven sketch comedy ahead of their run at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. They may not be particularly satirical, edgy or off the wall…but they went to drama school and know how to warm up their voices. Sort of.

Join Revan and Fennell aboard the Good Ship Benefit on the River Thames – opposite the London Eye and with spectacular views across the river. Usually the R.S. Hispaniola, Benefit Cosmetics is currently ‘all hands on deck’ and has opened the ship up to the public. With an on-board Benefit Cosmetics shop, a restaurant, a cocktail bar, a lounge offering afternoon tea and regular live comedy (hosted by Funny Women), there’s plenty to do on this very pink ship on London’s Embankment!

After making their critically acclaimed Edinburgh debut last year (‘Recommended’: Fringe Review 2015), the duo placed fourth at the 2016 New Act of the Year (The NATYS) at the Leicester Square Theatre and also reached the Grand Final of the 2015 Golden Jester Award. In 2013, they bagged the coveted Funny Women Variety Award and were also finalists at Gilded Balloon’s Best New Sketch Act and the London SketchFest Best New Act award.

Formed in late 2012, Revan and Fennell is made up of writer/performers Rosie Revan and Alice Fennell, who met at East 15 Acting School. They have performed at various theatres across London and the UK, and also at numerous festivals, such as the Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe, and Dave’s Leicester Comedy Festival.
