In 2013, in the spirit of every major sporting code, the writers and performers swallowed, injected and rubbed every illegal substance into their bodies to ensure they’re at the top of their game for the 2013 Melbourne Uni Law Revue “Performance Enhanced”.The result? 5 nights of hilarious sketch comedy and topical parodies, and if we’re being honest, a rather unusual growth on one of the writer’s elbows.
