This week we welcome Jaqson Johnston-Lynch to the show. Jaqson discovered LCI over the last year and has had an absolute blast since doing so. He is learning a lot from attending the Monday night drop-ins on a regular basis and is already able to see how improv is having a positive impact on all aspects of his life. We are excited for his enthusiasm to rub off on you! So sit back, relax and enjoy Jaqson's true story about making stuff up.

This week Iain and his fiancee Sekki are here to tell us all about an improv show they watched when on a recent trip to Berlin. They discuss the show and the venue and then delve into an improv centric chat all about long and short form and individual improv styles. It is as insightful as ever and a lot of fun. So sit back, relax and enjoy hearing all about the Comedy Cafe in Berlin and the Four Eyes Improv show.

This week we welcome Sekki Tabasuares back to the show to discuss building a community in Improv. Sekki has co founded three different improv centric groups that are all thriving and this chat pulls back the curtain on exactly what it takes to build a community in the first place. So sit back, relax and enjoy this wonderful chat and who knows, maybe it may inspire you to start your own community. Afterall, if you build it, they will come.

This week we are celebrating achieving 8000 downloads as we welcome John Francis to the show! John started his improv journey with LCI not long after lockdown ended here in the UK and it was his time with LCI that led him to Flintshire Funnybone Improv, where he has been a staple since it's inception. John is a fun improviser who you can't help but giggle along to when he is in full flow and this conversation details how a 13 year old prog rock enthusiast ended up all these years later fully immersed in the world of improv. Theres's some great stories about John's acting past including the time he was in The Full Monty and yes, he did indeed have to do The Full Monty! John is full of life and is proof that you are never too old to learn a new skill. It's a fantastic chat that we can't wait for you to hear, so please sit back, relax and enjoy John's true story of making stuff up.

Wow! What a year it has been for us on the show. Can you believe we have just reached the end of our second year! We will be taking a short break over the festive period, but Iain is here to take you back on a trip down memory lane, breaking down every episode of the show from the last year. There's loads of great insight and personal reflections and also some tidbits of information about why we are super excitied for what is coming up in 2023. The festive break is a great opportunity for newer listeners to catch up on older episodes, but whatever you are doing over the holiday period, we wish you all positivity, peace and happiness. See you in the new year.

We are super excited to finally welcome Stu Hughes to the show! Stu is a fantastic improviser and an even better human being and we know you are going to love this chat with him. Among the many things covered, Stu and Iain talk about how improv helps with confidence issues and how improv can genuinely help to change your life. They delve into the topic of short form vs long form and there’s also lots of fun chat about writing sketch comedy, the Oickers members of the LCI community and how Stu discovered improv and specifically LCI in the first place. They also both discover a mutual love of co-operative board games! It’s a really great chat that we are excited to share with you. So sit back, relax and enjoy Stu’s story about making stuff up.
