Hungry for improv.
About a month ago, I received a message from the amazing Chris of Bendy House/Dogface improv. He said his friend Rob was in town, was a great guy, and was looking to do some coaching/connect with some improvisers in London. I responded with a big “Yes And” and arranged for Rob to come to coach …
Last night we were happy to play at Amorphous Horse‘s Happy Place! We had an amazing time and as an extra bonus, they made us our own theme song. Enjoy!
We are one! To celebrate our birthday we decided to invite a coach to do a workshop with us. After a year of focusing on our Wildcard narrative format and then the Armando, we’ve become a combination of plotty and pacey. We tend to do very fast, premise-focused scenes which, whilst lots of fun, aren’t …
In October, we received an email that surprised and delighted us as a group – the Maydays invited us down to Brighton to come play on their stage. The Maydays, for those who don’t know, are an award-winning improv group that has been around for over 15 years. They have inspired thousands to bring a …
Last month we did something we’ve never done before…we hired an improv coach. Why did we do it?As a group, there isn’t much we take all that seriously. However, we are weirdly protective of our team dynamic and we are extremely dedicated to the improv as an art form. So, when we began to discuss …

This past Thursday, seven of us piled into a van and drove up to the great city of Norwich. Dogface Improv was kind enough to invite our group up to come perform at their long-form night. After a three-hour trek, that mostly consisted of playing improv games in the car, we made it to Jurnet’s …
Mwahaha! I have blogging rights. People are now letting me put stuff up on the internet unfettered and unedited. That’s a lot of trust guys…Are you sure about this? I start my Buffet blogging adventure with a big massive unpaid for endorsement of Katy Schutte’s The Improvisor’s Way Course. 3 of us own the book, …
This past Monday, we had our second show! We were invited to play along with some amazing groups at Hoopla‘s Launch Pad. While there was some initial confusion around there being an actual buffet at the show, we quickly clarified there would be no food and brought plenty of improv for people to feast on. We …
