A Makers of the Universe Podcast

Neil Mullarkey is one of the founding members of the Comedy Store Players, the world's longest running comedy group with the same members.

Neil shares his journey into comedy as writing partner with Mike Myers (Austin Powers, Wayne's World), and early improv shows in Edinburgh Festival together. From which Neil is now recognised as one of the world's leading experts in improv comedy - performing twice a week at the Comedy Store, London.

Neil shares some of the secrets of improv, and we explore why audiences laugh. We take a look back on Whose Line is it Anyway, and discuss its long lasting relevance. And we also contrast Neil's expertise in comedy with my own personal introduction into the world of improv - which makes for a fun listen.

It is a generous and playful episode full of joy, that is guaranteed to lift your spirits!
