Spex is a kind of amateur comedy theatre act performed by university students in Sweden and parts of Finland. University cities, such as Lund and Uppsala, have long going traditions of spex.
Prominent features of spexes are the musical-like mix of spoken text and songs, the often rhymed dialogue, a good amount of satire and parody and the tradition of having the audience shout "Restart!" (swedish: omstart/omtag) if they consider the current scene especially hillarious.
