Good Juju
Allie Entwistle
Allie faints at the sight of blood, but would still really like to be an ER doctor. Maybe this comes from Michael Chrichton's number one hit TV show, ER. Maybe George Clooney's portrayal of a rogue ER paediatrician really got to Allie. Maybe the real reason that Allie cries when Goose dies in Top Gun is because she knows it's really Dr. Green. Allie has no plans to pursue an MD.

I love green eggs and ham.

Nick Curry
Good evening. I have invited you to my chambers tonight for a very special purpose. Yes, more important than the 2000 election we rigged. We have been tasked with writing the bio of one "Nick Curry." However, we have no record that that is his real name. He has gone under many aliases, including Matt Dougwell, Shaun Brendanson, Doug Shaunson, Brendan Mattwell, and Orlando Bloom. Your mission is to track down this "Nick Curry" and extract every bit of information you can from him. I have provided you with the most advanced gadgetry MI6 has developed, including this pen that detonates a large explosive precisely ten seconds after the discreet phrase, "Golden apples shan't be the end of Charles Barkley!" is spoken. Good luck, agent. Let's hope we get this "Nick Curry" guy in one piece. Dismissed.
Catherine Fergusson
The wild Catherine is a feisty African leopard primarily found in the Saharan Desert. Her diet mainly consists of livestock, reptiles, and the occasional Twizzler. As a "Near Threatened" species, the Catherine is a frequent target of "trophy hunters" who admire her for her pelt, which she sometimes finds at Winners on sale. The Catherine is capable of running at 58 km/h, but she has a bus pass too, so she takes the 99 back when she's out late. She can vertically leap over three metres in the air, but needs a ladder to get the Christmas wrapping on that one top shelf in the garage with all the holiday stuff in it. The Catherine is very dangerous and hostile towards humans, except her friends, who she dresses up in neon with sometimes and does rave stuff. The Catherine belongs to the sub-genus ubcimprovera and is very excited to be a part of it.

Eric Benedon
Eric Benedon was born and raised in sunny California (that's right ladies, CALIFORNIA). Eric is beyond thrilled to be a part of UBC Improv as a first year, if by beyond thrilled he means genuinely angry. When not doing improv, Eric enjoys bumping with the Wu-Tang Clan, grilling up Ahi Tuna, and pulling the occasional prank on Billy Ray Cyrus. Eric has never written a bio and doesn't plan to anytime soon.
Jeffrey Tittiger
Jeffrey Tittiger, the young man who Channing Tatum once called “Who are you? Why are you touching me?” Jeffrey likes to think of himself as Canadian but sadly is just an American charlatan. When he isn’t sewing costumes (2nd year BFA Design and Production), he’s making sure that everybody knows that UGGs ARE NOT SHOES! Jeffrey likes cat videos, the idea of taking walks on the beach, and making fun of Kiera Knightly. This is Jeffrey’s first improv experience and is super jazzed to be part of #Goodjuju

James Twaites
James is an Enginimproviser (ɛnd-ʒən-ɪmp-rəv-ɑjzər), and you can be too. The first step is
to recognize the absurdity of looking for meaning in an uncaring universe. He is a rural kid,
born and raised in the Gulf Islands, and he is still really bad at "city things", like taking buses,
and living indoors. At seventeen years old, he is most focused on facilitating the eventual
completion of his two major life goals, becoming an astronaut, and growing a cool beard, like his
Dad. While they may currently seem unattainable in reality, there is always improv...

Elizabeth Good
Liz can't be tamed. She's her own Super Bowl Halftime Show. She's climbed Mount Bootylicious. She's got the moves like Jagger, Brown, and Beyonce. Ain't nobody better. Downing haters with attitude. Strutting down Main taking the party where she goes. Girlfriends, the party's where you make it. Make it you. When Liz is on stage, the first three rows better prepare for a splash zone of sass. Yeah? Yeah.
Fran Breden
The murmur of your pulse; that is the sound of Fran's voice. The involuntary contraction of your muscles; that is the feeling of Fran's touch. The warm red glow you see when you close your eyes in the sunshine; that is the sight of Fran's face. The acrid iron flavour of blood on your tongue; that is the taste of Fran's lips. Your own musky scent after walking in the rain in thick woolen coat; that is the smell of Fran's skin. Fran. She is with you wherever you go. Fran. When you watch her improvise, you are watching yourself. Fran.
