Dana Andersen and Oh Wait!

Dana joined us on Friday 14th, and ran an improvisation masterclass in the afternoon. Students from LIPA joined the regular impro crowd and had a great time, enjoying his unique style and enthusiasm.

That evening in Mello, there was a Ken Campbell's School of Night Show, which demonstrated a wholly different style of improvisation, followed by the Mello Hoedown with cowboys, can can girls, bands -

At 1.23 on Saturday 14th, the Liverpool Oh Wait! improvised comedy soap marathon began. It was a complete triumph, and audiences marvelled at the circuitous route in which Dana led the good ship RMS Pedantic from Liverpool to New York. Highlights included a visit to Monkey Island, the chasing down of the great whale Jody Dick, the Custard Mutiny, and finally the ship being attacked by a giant squid. Congratulations to all involved, particularly Dana and musical director Joe Quillan. The whole thing was documented by students from John Moores University and four LIPA students were involved too. Artist Ben Parry said "This is the best event of Liverpool 2008."
