Tanya is a fun improviser who is a regular at the online drop ins. During this very enjoyable chat you will find out how she ended up leaving Bulgaria for the bright lights of Beverley (just outside Hull) and what ultimately led her to discovering the joys of improv.

It is a great chat to kick off our 2022 journey and we can't wait for you to hear it.

This week is the final episode of 2021 and Iain is looking back on the evolution of the show over the previous 48 episodes. He gives a bit of backstory as to how the show came to be in the first place and then talks through all of the episodes so far, discussing key moments particular things he enjoyed.

We won't be away for long and we look forward to bringing you lots more content in the new year.

Thank you for your support during our first year. It has been a truly wonderful experience bringing this show to you every week.

Last week we shared with you an insight into the return to live improv at LCI courtesy of the 'Shindig' at the Fly in the Loaf on 26-11-21. We hope you enjoyed listening to that episode as much as we did and this week we have invited LCI regular and previous show guest Geoff Head to the show to discuss the gig in more detail with Iain.

It is a really fun reflection on what was a truly fantastic night of entertainment and we can't wait for you to hear it!

This week we are giving you a taste of the Liverpoll Comedy Improv Shindig that took place at the Fly in the Loaf on November 26th.It was a fantastic return to live performance improv in Liverpool and was a great way to showcase the very talented members of the LCI community. The teams performing all formed through LCI and many of the performers have been previous guests on the show. Broken Chair Improv, The Oickers and Boss Birds were the featured teams but the audience members also got to join in as part of the jam to finish the show.

Iain grabs some interviews with performers and audience members who were part of the hilarity and we are excited to share the fun with you.

This week we are discussing Friendship in Improv with returning guest and friend of the show San George. The improv community has been a place where people feel like they truly belong and can fully open up and be themselves and this means that the bonds that are formed run deep. Iain and San discuss how the improv community has impacted them and as good friends often do, they drift off topic on more than one occasion talking about improv in general and various other topics that crop up.

It's a real fly on the wall oppotunity to hear two friends having a good old natter and we can't wait for you to hear it!

This week Iain welcomes back former show guest Dave Hodgson to discuss the 'Game of the Scene'. What actually is it? How do you discover it? How important is it?

These are just some of the questions that are asked and answered in this very insightful and fun chat between two improv buddies.

It's time to sit back, relax and enjoy delving deep into the Game of the Scene.

Dr. Ron is in the house!

This week we have the pleasure of bringing you this wonderful treat of a chat with Dr. Ronald Harvey.

This week we are super excited to welcome Becky Webb to the show!

This week Iain welcomes one of his oldest friends Thomas Casson to the show to discuss the question 'Is Improv Really For Everyone?' Thomas is a professional actor and has frequently batted away and invites from Iain to join him for some improv fun. This led Iain to ponder what actually is it that keeps him saying no when he knows that Thomas possess all of the skills so improv?

This is a really fascinating chat about how improv comes in many forms and is a tool that suits many purposes & if you want the answer to the question that makes up this week’s show title then you are going to have to listen all the way to the end to hear the verdict.

It’s a really fun episode that we know you are going to love and we can’t wait for you to hear it!
