TASSIE’S IN A TIME WARP AGAIN

Old Nick is back in 2024 for Revue #77, with a rendition that will leave you gasping for air- because you’re laughing so much, not because you’re ramped in an ambulance! Sketches, satire and silly songs make up the glue that holds together the pieces of Uni Revue 2024: The Rockliff Horror (S#*t) Show.

    as AL-B-NESE / MIKE-L-FERGUSSON

    Rhys’s favourite colour is purple—fitting for a man of such regal stature! 🍆

    He’s most excited for the iconic Rocky Horror theme in this year’s show... Let’s do the Time Warp again! 💃🎩

    Rhys would invite Ryan Gosling over for a celebrity dinner date. Why? Well, as Rhys puts it, “I wouldn’t have to pick him up, he’d drive!” 🚗💨

    Rhys says his favourite dictator is Tai Gardener, Director of the Rockliff Horror (S#*t) Show. We’re not sure if Tai knows about this... Maybe we should have let him see this before posting 🤔

    Rhys’s favourite thing about Old Nick Company? The variety! He believes there isn’t anything the Uni Revue and Summer School can’t do! #duh 💁‍♂️

    Rhys says you should come to the show because it’s going to be a tonne of fun, with plenty of big belly laugh moments and plenty of rude bits

    Tom’s ideal date would involve a game of laser tag 🔫 #pewpew

    He’d love to host blonde bombshell Sydney Sweeney for a celebrity dinner date! Who wouldn’t!? 🍽️

    Amaya’s dream dinner date is Robert Irwin – because who wouldn’t want to discuss wildlife over a plate of swamp stew?
