    This week we welcome an LCI regular who is an up and coming stand up comedy sensation. She is the incredibly talented Melina Fiol.
    Melina is still relatively new to both improv and stand up, but in the short space of time she has been doing both she has made a big name for herself. She oozes charisma and passion for what she does and during the chat with show host Iain Luke Jones, she breaks down the importance of understanding improv to help add to your stand up tool belt and talks us through the process of how to plan a quality stand up routine.
    The conversation goes off on many a tangent and every avenue explored is one filled with incredible nuggets of information that are worth storing away for future use.
