Our most ancient tradition is also our most offensive!

That's why we love it so much, and why every year we sell out shows with queues down Union Street East.

It's the world's second longest running Capping Revue, second only to the Cambridge Footlights, it's a legend in it's own right with the actors also being the writers of every sketch. It's the finest comedic talent in Dunedin all put together to create a theatre show like none other in Dunedin.

Every year we have the same groups your granddad was in - the Selwyn Ballet (meaty guys in tutus), the Sextet (meaty guys singing their barber shop hearts out) along with the Sexytet (the name says it all), and of course the Knox Farce making a cameo each year on special nights to make sure both the old colleges get a big whoop whoop as well.

It's a night of dance, singing, quick snappy and hilarious sketches and videos with some of the 'best' special effects known to iMovie, as well as a different theme running through each year like a charging bull, the Capping Show is a compulsory rite of passage for every Otago scarfie.
