Last Grand Theft Impro this Thursday
It's our Christmas Special this Thursday and Grand Theft Impro will be joined by the brilliant Niall Ashdown for seasonal revels, Christmas stories, pantos and presents for everyone*
Niall Is one of the most experienced and funniest improvisers in the country, appearing regularly with the Comedy Store Players, The Improbable Theatre Company and Impropera.
He will be joining Phil Whelans, Dylan Emery and Cariad Lloyd for our final show of the year, so don't miss out on your chance to fill up on extemporised goodness.
* The Advertising Standards Council has asked us to point out that this is simply not true.
We've got a great duo of talents in Grand Theft this Thursday, Dec 9th - the amazing Pippa Evans (soon to appear on Radio 4 and BBC2) and the fabulous Cariad Lloyd, co-founder of The Institute and diva of the dancefloor.
Pippa is in the cast of the hugely popular Showstopper! The Improvised Musical, as well as being an award-winning solo character comedian, most famously as the brilliantly dark Loretta Maine. She is about to appear on BBC2 in the new improvised show Fast and Loose and also on the Showstopper Radio 4 series - both of which are due to air in January.
Cariad is a singer/actress, sketch show writer and performer, improviser extraordinaire. She regularly plays in the 30 and 50-hour improvathons, co-founded the impro troupe The Institute and is a ball of quirky, hilarious, high-energy fun.
Don't miss this Thursday!
GTI have been on Time Out's recommended list continuously for the past three years, we were in Jim Sweeney's Time Out Comic's Choice and were London Lite's 'Must Go' show in April 2007.
"At the forefront of the revival in impro, Grand Theft recalls the exuberant forays of Not Only But Also or Beyond The Fringe."
William Cook, The Guardian
"A rumbustious night out"
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard
"A unique brand of extreme theatre - they are always entertaining"
Daily Mirror
"These guys are great, enthusiastic, musical and most importantly funny."
