An evening of fully improvised comedy - every Wednesday The Line Up.... Tall Tales - Hilarious sketches improvised by a supergroup of improvisers, all inspired by stories and new material from this month's guest - Paul Campbell Paul Campbell has been performing stand up since 2018. His aim is to be known as a Supermarket exclusive comedian based on his love of the now defunct Somerfield and the very much still in business Heron Food. He has performed all over the country. He won the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality in 2025. 'A show to fall in love with' Scotsman ***** My! That Improv My! That Improv are a group of comedians making completely improvised plays grounded in real human emotion, with a tinge of the absurd brought in for good measure. We put the 'real' in surreal, the 'ant' in fantastic, and the 'unded' in grounded.
