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 Princess (later the St James) Theatre, His Majesty's Theatre (later Sammy's nightclub), the Mayfair Theatre, the Regent Theatre, the Town Hall and Cas

Previous locations include the Princess (later the St James) Theatre, His Majesty's Theatre (later Sammy's nightclub), the Mayfair Theatre, the Regent Theatre, the Town Hall 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. At the height of its popularity, the Capping Concert produced almost half the yearly income of the Otago University Students' Association. In 1909, one performance was used a fundraiser for the projected Students' Union Building (the building on the corner of Leith and Union Streets now occupied by the Allen Hall Theatre). Wes Faulkner was the musical director for the show for twenty years between 1949 and 1969. His daughter, Jane Faulkner-Beaumont, conducted the centennial performance in 1994. (en)
