Public Chenemy
Ian Thompson
Smooth, complex and velvety with subtle notes of berry. Dry and medium in colour, this clean and refreshing improviser offers unique flavours of raspberry, cassis and a touch of bell pepper aroma. Low in tartness. Generous, and crisp on the palate. Ages well but can be enjoyed young. Best served with pasta or veal.
Sajan Gill
Sajan lives his life aspiring to become a darker, hairier version of Matthew McConaughey and lives according to a new line from a Dan Brown book each day. Today he won't shut up about this: “God answers all prayers, but sometimes his answer is no” – Angels and Demons
Allie Entwistle
An astute seven year old once said to Allie:
"You look like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson... but you'd look like Miley Cyrus if you died your hair blonde."
Allie agrees.

Allie agrees.
Nick Slakov
Some say he was conceived on the back of a dog sled carrying the first humans to the south pole. Others claim he is the sole surviving heir to the Imperial Russian Monarchy, the great great grandson of the Princess Anastasia. Still more are convinced that he once flew through the Bermuda Triangle on the back of a monstrous eagle named Karl and landed safely, carrying the firstborn baby of the God of Improv. Nick Slakov is here now to tell you that all of the above is true, and more. These days he passes his time over a game of Catan with Karl or playing "Pat-a-Cake" with the Improv God's daughter (Two years old this December!). However, on some days, you just might see him improvising with his UBC Improv team and having a ballin' time. #YOLOSWAG2013/2014
Brad Burega
They say that if you wait until autumn, if you wait until the leaves lose their verdant hues and pass into the rich oranges and reds of fall, then, at that time, you drive on out to the old Burega homestead, down the dirt trail, towards the brilliant sunset of that Albertan sky and you sit down next to the aged, forgotten Burega barn, just then as the sun casts its final rays over those halcyon plains you can hear the autumn breeze whisper the words of Brad Burega, nudging them into your ear.
Or you can come watch him improvise with UBC.
It's a lot more fun that way.

Trang Nguyen
Trang is tall, white and male. She is not from Regina, Saskatchewan. Her interests do not include traveling, singing or watching New Girl. She has no sense of adventure and hates eating. Trang did not compete at the Canadian Improv Games National tournament for two years. She highly dislikes improvising with her friends, especially when she co-produced the first student-run monthly improv show in her hometown. She is certainly not currently a part of Instant Theatre's Conservatory Program in Vancouver. Trang hates making eye contact and having intelligent conversation with people. She absolutely does not have a twin. She cannot begin to describe the magnitude of how not excited she is to be a part of UBC Improv this year. Trang Nguyen is so ugly.
Nick Curry
Organic lemonade is for suckas. Sometimes Nick get confused when spelling barely and barley and then he feels embarrassed. He had long hair before. He has also had a couple haircuts. He broke his pinky in grade four when his friend sat on it. Both his parents are lawyers. His brother is a lot taller and older than him, and his physiologist has told him that this is affecting his ability to commit, to a certain subject in school. Last year Evan Brow wrote his bio and the year before he just didn’t do it. This is the first bio he has ever written. He hopes that it has “provided a short snapshot into his life”.
Harriet Cuttler
Harriet is a spy. But when Harriet's friends find her secret notebook, the tables are turned on her. Can she win her friends back and still keep on going with the spy business?
