The Nick Revell Show was a sitcom originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Saturday Night Comedy slot, written by and starring Nick Revell. Two series of six episodes each were made in 1992 and 1993.

The format of the series involved Revell as a struggling writer and the interactions with his friends agent and the talking geraniums (Vince and Alvin) in his flat. Each show opened with Revell performing a short monologue, which then merged into the sitcom action.

A TV pilot entitled N7 was made (featuring an actor other than Revell playing the central character). The pilot was not developed into a series.

The radio series is occasionally repeated on BBC Radio 4 Extra.
