Bev Fox is a British Improviser. As a young actor, she joined 'London Theatresports' in 1988 and in '89 became an original member of the pioneering 'Impro Musical Company' for 12 years, which toured the UK and Europe and had a TV and Radio series named the Bootleg Broadway Show. Throughout the 90s she performed with improv companies 'The Comedy Store Players' and 'Improbable Theatre', and was also a singer-songwriter with indie bands 'The Shy People' and 'Svengali', and fronted tribute band, 'Peroxide Blondie' for 10 years. In '02, she returned to her hometown Newcastle, and formed 'The Suggestibles' improv comedy group and 'School of Improv' with her partner 'Ian McLaughlin', and got into making improv-based films for which they won 4 Royal Television Society Awards, Bev trained in improvisation with 'Keith Johstone' in Canada, and in musical improv with 'Alan Marriott and Anthony Ingle' (founders of the Impro Musical). She is co-founder of the 'Newcastle Improv Festival', 'The 4 Hour Film Challenge' and 'The Impro Pantso' - a big production which takes place every Christmas. During the pandemic, Bev took School of Improv online (which continues), and has just returned to teaching and performing improv in-person again.
