Chris originally trained with the Maydays in Brighton (taught by Liz Peters!). When he moved back to his hometown of Norwich, he missed improv hugely, which led him to create a company – Dogface Improv and take classes with as many different schools and coaches as he could including IO Chicago, Second City and UCB.

Chris has performed in many short and longform teams over the years, including four Edinburgh Fringe runs with his duo, Bendy House. Most recently Chris directed and performed in “The Electro Impro Show” – a show which combines his two passions of improv and technology.

Chris is a big improv nerd and loves to study and discuss improv theory. He’s a big fan of technical forms such as the Harold and Deconstruction as well as less heady and free-flowing styles. He’s a big believer in the power of improv for wellbeing and good mental health, as well as for performance.
