Message us ANONYMOUSLYGuest cohost David Parke is seated and present to debate his pick “Class Act” (1992 d. Randall Miller). We name our hills to die on, talk about the granddaddies of movies that look “made for streaming,” style vs. substance making this more similar to “Frankenstein,” and “Oppenheimer,” than some may think, and the wildest movie ending in the history of The Review Review so far. All that, and Paul pays full and proper respect to the fine gentleman from Oakland, California. #pleasehammerdonthurtem 6/9!Support the show**All episodes contain explicit language**Main Artwork - Ben McFadden'Review Review Intro/Outro' Themes - Jamie Henwood"What Are We Watching?" & "Whatcha Been Doin'?"

This week we return to our A-Z of Improv series and explore the letter 'K'! Host Iain Luke Jones is joined once again by the brilliant Emma T, returning guest and true friend of the show, for a lively, thoughtful, and wide-ranging chat about what this letter brings to the world of improv. Together, they break down ten distinct improv-related concepts, performance techniques, and philosophies that all begin with K. From how these ideas show up in scenes to how they impact your mindset on stage, this episode dives into the practical tools and improvisational magic that make the letter K such a fascinating stop on our journey through the alphabet. What made the final list? You'll have to press play to find out! Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, there is plenty of gold to unpack in this one. So sit back, relax, and grab a brew, it's time to journey through the letter K!

This week on The Liverpool Comedy ImprovCast, Iain trials a brand new format: Desert Island Improv, putting friends of the show Dave and Ebe firmly in the spotlight. In this episode, the pair are asked to imagine themselves stranded on a very specific kind of desert island, where survival depends entirely on improv. Each guest chooses the improv skill or format they couldn't live without, the improv person they'd want alongside them, and a key improv memory they'd take with them into exile. Along the way there's plenty of chat about their journeys in improv and the people and influences that have shaped them. Naturally, there's also time for a bit of appreciation for the fundamentals, including the ever-essential Yes And, and how it shows up in their work and thinking. A warm, funny and reflective chat with two brilliant improvisers, and a reminder that even on a desert island, someone is probably still trying to justify a completely unearned character choice. So sit back, relax and enjoy our first visit to Desert Island Improv.

This week on The Liverpool Comedy ImprovCast, the format is… gently ignored. With no guest and no improv deep dive in sight, host Iain Luke Jones takes the bold (and potentially reckless) decision to go solo and slightly off-piste. The reason? His brand new album, Iain Luke Jones: The Man Under the Hat. In this special episode, Iain talks through the making of the album, the ideas behind it, and the journey from “this might be fun” to “well, it's happening now”. Expect a peek behind the curtain, a few stories along the way, and the occasional detour that may or may not find its way back. Improv fans, fear not. The spirit of it is still very much alive… just pointed in a slightly different direction this week. Iain Luke Jones: The Man Under the Hat is available to download and stream from May 22nd.

Message us ANONYMOUSLYEverybody, freeze! Cause Ben and Paul are talking about listener pick, "Demolition Man," (d. Brambilla 1993) with another listener pick, our Guest: Matthew Fosket!

This week, host Iain Luke Jones is joined by the wonderful Jennifer Carss for a brilliant and heartfelt chat about how a “one-off favour” turned into a full-blown love affair with improv. Jen shares the story of how she accidentally stumbled into the improv world and somehow never quite left, becoming deeply embedded in the thriving scene in Manchester. What started as helping out a friend has grown into a rich creative life filled with performance, collaboration, and producing her own work. We talk about her passion for bringing improv to younger audiences, including the shows she runs where children don't just watch — they become part of the action and experience the magic of making it up for themselves. Along the way, we chat about some of the fantastic projects she's involved with, including Murder Inc, Anything Could Happen, Drunk Classics, Acting Up from ImproQuo, and Curly Tales. It's a joyful conversation about saying yes to opportunities, building creative communities, and discovering where improv can take you when you least expect it. So grab a brew and settle in as we find out all about Jen's true story about making stuff up.

On this episode of the Liverpool Comedy ImprovCast, host Iain Luke Jones flies solo and dives deep into the world of improv literature. Rather than sitting down with a guest, Iain takes a thoughtful and entertaining look at ten of the most influential improv books ever written, the texts that have shaped the way improvisers think, perform, teach, and occasionally argue about the art form. From status and spontaneity to “finding the game”, group mind, structure versus freedom and everything in between, he explores the ideas that have defined modern improv and the debates that continue to surround them. Are certain formats placed on too high a pedestal? Has the language of improv made us clearer or more cautious? And what can these books still teach us about stepping on stage with nothing but trust, instinct and a willingness to leap? Whether you're a seasoned improviser, a curious newcomer, or someone who just loves peeking behind the curtain, this episode is a celebration of the thinkers, teachers and provocateurs who helped shape the craft. So pour yourself a cuppa, sit back, relax… and enjoy another true story about the art of making stuff up.

Message us ANONYMOUSLYActor Sara Coates has returned for our all comedy “March Movie Madness,” and is ready to harshly judge her own choice "Best In Show," (2000 d. Christopher Guest) Starring: Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara (RIP), and Christopher Guest himself. There's certainly a human illuminati, but could there be a dog illuminati? Could we be a part of both? These ponderings, kids rockin' costumes, elite junk food, statements on children's programming ("Bluey" & "Puffin Rock") and the majesty of the one and only Catherine O'Hara.

Message us ANONYMOUSLYSo, someone involved with marketing/promoting this new Dutch movie “Reedland” (2025 d. Sven Bresser) reached out to us.

Watch it and do the dance.” And we're like "uuummm, OK.” Then we did the episode, and sent it to them for approval. They were like “wow. Approved.

Along the way we cover his geeky passions — Doctor Who, musicals — his enduring friendship with Katy Schutte, and his current work with Hoopla Impro and The Pretend Company. We also look ahead at what's next: from his Develop Your Own Practice award exploring the merger of movement and ensemble work, to teaching and performing in over 25 countries, and running indie projects under his own name.

If you get the chance to take an improv class with Maria Peters - DO IT.  She is an incredible mind in improv and has worked with legends. Her empathy and creativity in improv is some of the best I have ever seen.  I have always enjoyed seeing Maria Peter improvise. There was one time I was in an improv class with her and the whole class did a group scene. During the scene, I could tell she literally listened to me.  She literally heard me and supported me.  So many others were trying to impress the influential teacher. They were trying to do big bold moves or funny bits. Maria was in the space with me, at that time.  And as a scene partner I felt so much trust. I cannot recommend her enough. If you would like to find out more about this amaxing improv performer, you can find out more at: https://www.mariapeters.co.uk/ You can also follow her on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/mariapetersimprov/

So sit back, relax, and enjoy Iain's true story about making stuff up… alone, but never truly alone.

Luana Proenca said in a comment on Facebook: " We don't tell stories, we enter them." Now, I have been following Luana's journey via social media but that comment really struck me and I wanted to know more. I loved hearing her detail this philosophy in improv. And it really inspired me.  I have always felt that our service in improv is both to cater to the audience but not placate them - as humble guides through our stories. We are trail masters and taking care of the audience as precious cargo. This was such a good discussion and I am excited for the chance to meet Luana in person. You can find out more about her on her website: https://luanaproenca.wixsite.com/luanaproenca  We also discuss her documentary during this interview, and here is a link to it!

But can she convince Iain to lock them away for good? Tune in to hear which improv frustrations San would happily say goodbye to, and whether Iain agrees they deserve to be sealed in the vault of doom. So, sit back, relax, pop the kettle on, and enjoy another fun-filled episode of improv rants, revelations, and righteous refusals!
