The Capping Show is the name given to the University of Otago student revue. It has run since 1894 making it the world's second longest running student revue. Each year the Capping Show is roughly 2 hours long and made up of comedy sketches and musical numbers. It touches on many of the current and not so current events of the past few years, satirizing people and problems in an uncommonly brash manner. Since the University of Otago is located in Dunedin, a good section of the show makes fun of the Dunedin and the University. It is currently being performed at the College Auditorium at the University of Otago. Previous locations include the Regent Theatre and Castle lecture theatre. The Capping Show also features the comic talents of the Sexytet, the traditional Capping Sextet, the Selwyn Ballet and the Knox Farce.
