About this episode

David interviews Chris Mead about improv, Doctor Who, and food while on a train in London.

Chris Mead is being interviewed. This interview takes place on the train in London. I am so lucky because I consider Chris a great improv influence and a friend. His work in the improv practice constantly folds in new improv voices and people from underrepresented groups. I have had the pleasure of doing improv with him, taking a class from him, taking a class with him, seeing him perform and even producing him in improv events! I love how he views the practice. In this episode we talk Doctor Who, improv and food.
