Yes, I’m Canadian

The postcard for The Impro Cave that I put above the coffee machine at work has been co-opted in an effort to promote best practices when making coffee. Ironically, I think Mark is the only person in the photo who would approve of this.

After the hectic week-and-a-half that has been Unforeseen Stories, I’m enjoying a quiet evening to myself on the grounds of the Abbotsford Convent, where Impro Melbourne keeps its offices and holds most of its training sessions.
Tonight, Jess is training along with the rest of the company’s “Technique” group of up-and-comers in preparation for putting on […]

The 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival is winding down, and for me at least it has been a festival to remember.
Having recently joined the ranks of Impro Melbourne’s talented ensemble, this was the first Festival where I took to the stage! Joining on opening night the cast of Impro Melbourne’s production of Smells Like a […]

There are three Sundays left in Impro Melbourne’s Theatresports™ season, and at this point its looking like I’ll appear in all three shows, but if you were hoping to see me and Jess play this year your time is running out! Tickets for the Grand Final on November 26th are sold out, and November 12th […]

This year’s 10-week season of Theatresports™ starts this Sunday. Come along and watch me compete if you’re in town! Full details at the Impro Melbourne web site.

Though Tangents continues for at least two more weeks, Jess and I are off on a trip overseas in just a few days, which means my final show for the run was last Sunday.
And what a final show it was! It’s not especially useful to dwell on your successes in improvisation, because the very next […]

Although the show started last weekend, the first one I’m in is tonight, so I have selfishly waited until now to announce it.
Tangents is a show I helped develop over the past few months at Impro Melbourne, and it’s very exciting to finally get to show it to the masses.
