Andrew Pugsley trained in musical theatre at Circle in the Square Theatre School on Broadway, and first improvised with the Edinburgh University Improverts a quarter of a century ago. He is a singer, actor, coach, graphic designer and video maker.

He performs in the West End and around the world with the Olivier Award-winning Showstopper! The Improvised Musical, for whom he is Associate Artistic Director.

As a coach and improv teacher, he is passionate about exploring the tools of improvisation whatever the context – artistic, corporate or personal. He advocates viewing any interaction as a creative partnership, an opportunity to listen and be changed by experience.
