The last GTI of this term sees an all-GTI line-up of GTI for the first time in many years as Cariad Lloyd, Dylan Emery and Phil Whelans are joined by founder member of GTI, Alan Marriott .
WTF, I hear you spell.
Founder of Grand Theft Impro, Alan is now back living in his native Vancouver. A voice-over maestro, to all young Americans it is Alan, not Neil Morrissey, who will always be Bob the Builder. He was in The Reduced Shakespeare Company, he brought Theatresports to London and he devised or co-devised Hamlet Improvised, The Impro Musical and Impropera. His book, Genius Now is a must buy for impatient people who want to be Genii.
