One Over the Eight was a comedy revue performed on April 5, 1960. It was written by Peter Cook and starred Kenneth Williams.[1]

The material included a "One Leg Too Few" sketch and "Interesting Facts" sketch[2] with Williams playing an E L Wisty character. It also featured Sheila Hancock.[3]

The Evening News said it was "Scandalously funny" while the Evening Standard said it was "Snappy and gay." It was performed at the Duke of York's Theatre, London.[4]

It was the sequel to Pieces of Eight.
