Hey. So, if you’ve not already heard I’m running Improv as a part of NTW TEAM from Nov 6^th, and have been attending a  Improvisation course in Bristol run by the lovely Tristan Hancock, and telling you all about it. As best I can.

Week 2 – Thursday 11^th October

This week I’d overcome my cold, so was instead faced with battering winds and rain throughout my journey, but protected by my extremely fashionable Mac and waterproof trousers I came off…

Russian: I...I liberate...

Man: We are free men. You cannot liberate us.

Russian: But you are prisoners.

Man: A house may…
