Liverpool Improvathon

This weekend I was lucky enough to be one on the performers in Liverpool's annual 'Improvathon', a 33 hour long show organised by fellow Mersey based improv troupe Impropriety, and it was pretty amazing. I'll hold my hand up now and say I wasn't in all of it, as a guest being my first one […]
