  • Episode 66 - Heather Wark
    Heather is a relatively new improviser, but if you saw her perform you would never know it!
    She has such a natural flare for it and to top it off she is a genuinely lovely person. During this chat Iain and Heather talk through her journey to improv and find out exactly how it came about that a physicist with barely any experience in performing arts came to discover a passion for improv.

  • Episode 65 - Tom Jenkinson
    Tom is a drama student with a real passion for improv & he is at a very exciting stage of his life where there are so many possibilities ahead of him.
    During the conversation we get to hear about Tom's improv journey into improv and into LCI & we learn how LCI has helped him to expand his improv horizons.
    During this chat Tom mentions that he thinks Colin Mochrie is 72. Iain just accepted this at the time, but felt it was not quite accurate. Research was conducted and it seems the age estimation was indeed a tad high. Colin is a spritely 64 (at the time of recording).
    It's an informative chat that is full of fun little tidbits and we can't wait for you to hear it!
    So sit back, relax and enjoy Tom's true story of making stuff up.

  • Episode 59 - Boss Birds Live Set
    This week we are bringing you another live special! This time around we are putting the spotlight on the fantastic Boss Birds.
    Boss Birds are an all female team who formed at LCI and they are an incredibly talented bunch who are masters of their craft. Boss Birds and Friends is a monthly show that LCI puts on and the show featured today was recorded at the end of January 2022 at the very first Boss Birds and Friends gig.
    A few weeks ago we brought you the set from the Oickers that night and now we are super excited to bring you this set from the Boss Birds. To keep the show PG there is the odd word that has been editied out, but we know you can probably fill in the blanks ;)
    This show was recorded on a phone so is not studio quality, but it is still good enough to give you a great feel for what it was like to be there in the audience on the night.
