Ben Cottam (2007)Barnacle-ridden Ben finds his bouffant occasionally used by seabirds as a nest but more commonly by the RNLI and their daring rescues. He is both searching for that cream cracker under the settee, soldiering on and waiting for the telegram. Hills don't thwart him, because his bike has three speeed Sturmey Archer gears. He no longer has any trouble walking or speaking. Now fully continent, he last wet himself when his mum was on jury service in '88 or '89. Unable to afford plasters, he just bleeds... |

Lucie Fortune (2006-2008)Lucie started life as a tapdancer, entertaining people and animals alike on the streets of Peru. However, her special silent tap technique has proved surprisingly unpopular and her sponsors withdrew all their funding. She hopes she will earn enough money from improv to fulfil her dream of relaunching her one-man tapdancing show, and touring it around the world. In her spare time, Lucie runs a small underground arms trafficking network. Her other hobbies include lemon fanta and brazil nuts. |

Mark Gardiner (2006-2007) A long-time fan of and believer in "total improvisation", Mark has lived an unscripted life since 1983 (with occasional lapses during school plays). Since he's an American he enjoys bossing the rest of the group around and exercising poor judgment about troop deployments. Actually, Mark holds Belgian and American passports, allowing him to feel guilty about Iraq and the Congo at the same time. He once narrowly avoided being run over by an elephant, but he's not holding a grudge. |

Tom Hensby (2006-2007) Tom knows the entire works of Milton and Shakespeare by heart, and is currently directing and acting in a year-long festival of their works starring only himself. Tom is very concerned about global warming and the ravages that the petrochemical industry is wreaking on the world, and he has taken a stand by always taking his own carrier bags to the supermarket. Have that George Bush! In his spare time Tom likes to build flying machines. As soon as he gets one that works he will bomb the other members of the group, reserving the largest and most nuclear of the bombs for Lucie Fortune. |
