ABOUT

Hi there, I'm Chris.

 

I'm a UK-based performer and theatre-maker who teaches and coaches improvisation in London.

 

I studied theatre at Royal Holloway College and improvisation at iO and The Annoyance Theatre in Chicago. 

 

I'm co-artistic director of The Nursery Theatre, a space in London dedicated to improv as a theatrical art form. I'm a member of the internationally-renowned ensemble The Maydays, one half of sci-fi duo Project2 and recently co-founded Unmade Theatre Co. to pursue new projects as a director and performer. 

 

I'm also the host of YesBot, a podcast about the theory and craft of improv.

I love improv. It's at the heart of everything I do.
I perform it, teach it and talk about it - both in podcasts and on my blog. 

 

This website gives you access to all that stuff.

What can I do for you?
