And with excellent groups…
I work with several theatrical and comedy improv groups, in London and elsewhere.
I’m either providing the music, or I’m on stage.
Story Kitchen
Story Kitchen Impro performs Keith Johnstone’s Theatresports — the spirtual child of theatre and pro wrestling. I’m pleased to be leading the music for this format, which hasn’t been in London for several years. We also perform Maestro.

Music Box
Music Box perform improvised comedy musicals. I was musical director for a long time, and I now regularly perform as a guest.

Hoopla
The Faculty are the Hoopla teachers, who perform a new format every month at Hoopla Impro Comedy Club.
The Improvised Opera is an occasional show with me, Steve Roe and Becca Marriott. Opera like you’ve never heard before. And probably should never hear again.

Sprout
Sprout is a longstanding impro group in London, who I’m proud to have guest performed with regularly for more than ten years.
