Your latest improv show:
Spin-a-Play is coming back for 2025, we’ve been working hard on refining and revitalizing the format so it’s
better than ever and now we’re ready to unleash it on an audience for the first time. We create an entire brand
new play from scratch, in 60 mins, using a spin of our wheel. The audience gets to help shape the action as it
unfolds, including choosing how the play ends! It’s crazy, chaotic and great fun.
Your favourite suggestion you have been given?
I like the really weird ones that sometimes pop up. One that sticks in my mind was when I asked the audience
for an illicit hidden business for a pub landlord and someone suggested that he was smuggling chinchillas.
Absolutely brilliant.
Your favourite venue to perform at:
I had a great time when we were at the Museum of Comedy, such a lovely space to perform in and it’s also great
to look at all the materials they have on display in the actual museum part too.
Improv hero:
Ruth Bratt, of Showstopper, Comedy Store Players and Mischief Movie Night fame. She is absolutely hilarious
and when she’s on stage she steals every scene.
Dream venue to play at:
It’s gotta be the iconic Comedy Store, right? I’d say the O2 but I don’t think it would be great for improv…
Describe the feeling you get when you walk on stage to do a show:
It’s electrifying for me, like the whole world disappears other than that room. There’s no finer feeling than
having an audience full of laughter and joy, especially when you know you’re the cause.
The hardest improv suggestion to perform and why:
Pretty much every time we’ve tried to incorporate a musical interlude in one of our plays the audience wants it
to be a rap. I can barely string a song together let alone come up with a fully functioning and rhyming rap on
the spot, so that one is definitely the trickiest for me.
Essential items you always take with you to a show?
Hairspray and my Lucky Shoes.
