Stop press. Briony Redman joins GTI tonight
Joining Jamie, Dylan and Phil this evening will be another survivor of last weekend's 50 hr Improvathon.
Briony Redman is a regular fixture in the Improvathon(s) and, this year, played Cerberus, the three-headed dog that guards Hades. 50 hours playing a dog! In dog hours that's 350 hours! And in three-headed-dog-hours that's 1050 hours! Exclamation mark.
Briony is a member of esteemed impro group, Horse Aquarium, and sketch outfit, Ladies and Gentlemen. Kill for a ticket. Doesn't matter who*.

Jamie Cavanagh guests with GTI Thursday 17th May
The wonderfully talented Jamie Cavanagh will be treading the boards at The Wheatsheaf this Thursday, hot from his 50 hour epic playing Hercules in the London Improvathon (see picture).
Jamie is a rising star in the improv world, having spent 5 years with the incredible Rapidfire Theatre company from Edmonton in Canada. As well as being a great comic talent, he's also got an armful of serious acting roles under his belt. So you get good stories and comedy - what more could you ask for?
He will be joining GTI regulars Dylan Emery and Phil Whelans this week - both of whom also were living in Ancient Greece along with Jamie this weekend.
It will be an evening worth watching...
