The team

Laura Mugridge: I'm a stand-up comedian, performer and writer. I'm currently virtually touring the UK with my latest act of creativity Is Now a Good Time, a quirky, funny, touching piece of telephone theatre. 

My first solo show, Running on Air, won a fringe first at the Edinburgh Festival and was featured on the Culture Show. Last year I wrote and performed Bookish, a selection of five mini shows, each inspired by a different book, which I toured to theatres and libraries throughout the UK. I am the Associate Artist at The Harrogate Theatre and of the museum of Archeology and Athropology in Cambridge. 

Throughout lockdown I have become a master of ZOOM!!! And have, along with the brilliant Nathan and amazing Henry, been delivering fantastic online drama sessions. We've had children all over the world join us as we've created crazy, wacky, wonderful, silly, storylines with some fabulous imaginative creative kids!

My favourite dance is the funky chicken: nobody looks cool while they're doing it
Joke: What did the monkeys say to each other when they won the Olympics? WE ARE THE CHIMPIONS!
My favourite drama game is Bibbity Bibbity Bop! 

Carwyn - I'm from Wales. I've acted on stages and on various TV shows in both English and Welsh! I love rugby, food, comedy, food, watching films and food. 
My favourite joke is "Have you ever had a beaver curry before? It's like a normal curry, but it's a little otter."
My favourite dance is probably Step in Time from the film Mary Poppins, where Dick Van Dyke dances on the rooftops of London! 
My favourite drama game is the easiest and silliest of them all... I call it "The land of back-to-front"...

Tilda - I’m a creative producer and theatre-maker currently studying for an MA in Creative Producing at MOUNTVIEW. I’m also one of the Stage One ‘Bridge the Gap’ Producers and The Young Everyman and Playhouse Producers (YEP). Currently I’m the Assistant Produced for PUSH labs festival at HOME Manchester and developing a site-specific audio experience in Southwark. I’ve previously worked with companies such as Gecko, Dais Hale, Theatre Deli and Splendid Productions.
My first devised show as a theatre-maker, ‘I love you, But F*ck Off’ debuted at VAULT Festival in 2019 before being selected for the Shrill Voices Writing Residency that same year.
 
My favourite dance move: Any kitchen disco moves
Joke: Why were the bakers hands brown? Because he kneaded a poo!
My favourite drama game: Fairytale Rock Paper Scissors OR That’s my ball!
