Day 187: Burns Department

Very pleased to see Cardinal Burns have bagged a series on Channel 4.  I have been a fan of their work for many years, but am especially fond of Burns.  Mainly because of this:-

Improtwat will blow your mind.

Unlike other improv groups (like Improdicks) they take the art of improvisation very seriously.

Larwood (level 4)

Demri-Burns (level 4)

Their two strongest performers – Marek Larwood and Dustin Demri-Burns – boast a Level 4 status. For tourists and people who don't attend regular improv nights this means they even improvise at weekends. Their weakest performer – Sophie Black – is only a Level 2 but is a girl which is why they keep her on. They are joined by New Zealander Jarred Christmas (level status tbc) who will see if he can keep up with his culturally superior counterparts.


I saw this show about four years ago.  It still lives within me.
