The show is SKETCH UP!<\/strong> Written by the FABULOUS Rachel E Thorn<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0the Queen of Improv, and Witty Skit Writer Extraordinaire.
\nPlaying Friday Feb 4<\/strong> at the Leicester Comedy Festival<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Rachel’s comedy has been heard on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio Scotland and performed by impressionists including Rory Bremner, Alistair McGowan and Christina Bianco. Rachel also performs improvised comedy shows nationwide and is the winner of The Phoenix Remix Act Of The Year 2019.<\/p>\n

Rachel has put together a group of fun professional performers for her Sketch Up Crew, and at her cry of “SKETCH UP ASSEMBLE!”<\/strong> we all fall into place. We’ve been recording and performing Rach’s sketches for a few years now (except the last two obvs) and its brilliant fun – mainly because they’re so well written and full of wonderful characters we’d never get asked to play otherwise!<\/p>\n

On stage for this performance, besides our Wonder Woman Rachel<\/strong>, we have Melanie Crawley<\/strong>, Gerard Fletcher<\/strong>, and myself.<\/p>\n

Melanie Crawley<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A fabulous voiceover artist, having narrated over 40 audiobooks including An Unknown Woman<\/strong> by Jane Davis and The River Through Rome<\/strong> by Nicholas Nicastro. She is Joy in The Age of Love<\/strong>, the podcast based on artist Pete McKee\u2019s characters, and starred in the UK tour of Tannie & Tannie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Gerard Fletcher<\/strong> <\/a><\/h3>\n

Gerard Fletcher<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the best voiceover actors in the business. My favourite facts are that he presents Screwfix\u2019s<\/strong> YouTube channel and he’s the on-hold voice of DPD<\/strong>, The National Trust<\/strong> and Halfords<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

TV includes Sherwood<\/strong>,\u00a0Get Even\u00a0<\/strong>(BBC\/Netflix – 5 EPs),\u00a0Emmerdale,\u00a0<\/strong>Happy Valley<\/strong>” and Girlfriends<\/strong>, where he and I first worked together, sharing a scene with Zo\u00eb Wanamaker and Miranda Richardson.<\/p>\n

He has performed in radio dramas for BBC Radio 3, Radio 4 and Radio 4 Extra. His voice can be heard in ads on TV and most independent commercial radio stations worldwide and he’s narrated audio books and documentaries for BBC, ITV, Channel 5 Paramount and History Channel.<\/p>\n
