Boo Hoyts, Yay Hoyts!

Jess and I went to see Mission: Impossible III a couple of weeks ago. (Some spoilers indicated below.)

Impro: Heaven or Hell

This Saturday, May 13th, I’m performing in Heaven or Hell, part of Impro Melbourne’s Unforeseen Stories, a series of long-form improvised theatre performances. Heaven or Hell was developed and performed at last year’s Comedy Festival, so it promises to be a funny show.
