Scotland’s only full-time improv troupe –
The Stand Players - combine their unique and successful style of comedy with games, new formats and special guest performers ...in short, it’s improv improved. Established audience favourites such as Half Life (a one minute scene repeated again in 30 seconds, then 15 seconds, then 7, 3 and finally 1 second), will be joined by skewed views of up-to-the-minute news, even more opportunities for audience interaction, and much more.

The Stand Players are:

Stuart Murphy
Stuart has been performing comedy for 10 years in Scotland and enjoys a residency at The Stand as part of the popular Whose Lunch Is It Anyway? show. Stuart’s performances have included stints with the Bedlam Improverts and the acclaimed Fringe show The Melting Plot, and also lunchtime favourite Free and Easy.

Garry Dobson
Garry has been performing since 1990, with performances in both theatre and improv, including Guardian short-listed plays Making Love and Feel Real with Prominent Theatre as well as The Improverts, End Of The Line, and a regular in Whose Lunch Is It Anyway? and has recently been seen in Glasgow based Disposable Theatre.
