nick harvey-cheetham's first experience with improv was one of disappointment. however, the 3 years he has spent learning and performing improv since then have been pretty swell. nick has performed improvised comedy in over 11 different types of building, including a library. nick can occasionally be found spending months at a time canoeing or demonstrating his rabid passion for NBA basketball. nick is one half of the lightning-burrito that is Nix, the other half being nik bunting. 

tom hill is a wizard.  improvisation has been his magic of choice for years, starting with the canadian improv games as a young lad, and continuing in vancouver with ubc improv after high school, at one point reigning as co-president.  in 2008 he created Hip.Bang! with devin mackenzie, with whom he has played around vancouver and in bellingham, washington.  he can be seen as part of Vancouver Theatresports League’s “Clash of the Next Generation” and as a regular guest on Bronx Cheer's HERO SHOW.  you might also hear him as a common contributor to the Exploding Sandwich! podcast.  you won't be able to see that.

tom has studied with leading improv minds lee white (winnipeg - CRUMBS), armando diaz (new york - Magnet Theatre), alistair cook (vancouver - !nstant Theatre), randy dixon (seattle – Unexpected Productions), and kevin gilesse (Edmonton – Rapid Fire Theatre), and as a playwright in the university of british columbia's creative writing department.

alex hudson is a hero.  alex is a proud ubc improv alumni and former co-president.  he and richard lam make up the highly successful "history alive," which performed at the vancouver international improv festival in 2008.

ember first saw improv when she was seven years old.  her small innocent mind was blown.  she competed in the Canadian Improv Games in high school, and she is an alumni of Rapid Fire Theatre (edmonton) where she performed weekly for 4 glorious seasons. she now performs with VTSL’s “CLASH”.  if you ask nicely she’ll tell you ridiculous tidbits of canadian history.

SEE YOU TONIGHT!!

tegan is arguably the best nintendo player in western canada. A ubc improv alumnus, she has studied performance at the Langley Fine Arts School, Lyric School of Acting and under a host of improvisation greats. in addition to playing as one-third of the all-female improv supergroup The Last Duchess (winner of ubc improv's 2009 IMPULSE Tournament and five-time champion of VTSL's Ultimate Improv Championship), tegan also performs in VTSL's "CLASH: The Next Generation." while alphabetically the last member of Pump Trolley Comedy, she would be the first to roundhouse kick a werewolf in the face.

ben gorodetsky.  veteran of canadian improv games, an active member of ubc improv, participant in VTSL's "clash" and one-third of DIAMONDTOOTH improv with tim carlson and tyler weber (second place winner at 2009's ubc improv IMPULSE festival). 

richard lam knows best.  coming from the heat of the improv-forge that is the canadian improv games, richard lam has expanded his comedic world to include VTSL's "CLASH", the historically stimulating "History Alive!" with alex hudson, and is a ubc improv alumni/former co-president.  richard will be on se-laugh-ical in september as he pursues his acting degree at the university of alberta.

adam pateman is a comedian and actor who has been doing stand-up comedy for seven years and is now a favourite among crowds in vancouver.  with his strange and fun nintendo-generation style, mixed with bizarre characterizations, pateman delivers an act so pure that you would think it was birthed from a unicorn.  he has been featured on XM radio's Laugh Attack and was a finalist for the vancouver Yuk Yuk's 2006 Great Canadian Laugh-Off competition and the 2004 Urban Well Funniest Comic Competition.  he loves thai curry, hates cilantro, is terrified of whales, and tries hard not to stare at birthmarks that are on people's faces.
