Linette Voller - Onomotopoeia lives

Linette Voller has a quiet strangeness which kind of creeps up on you. She looks like an ordinary person until she begins to improvise, and then you see a mind with many dark corners and quirky side alleys. You can see them all within a few minutes - always changing!!

Here's a quick interview with Linette.

What’s your all time favourite improvised scene that you were in? Why?
One that sticks out for me is a song I did with 2 of my pals that I graduated from an impro course with a year before. It was just so much fun and one of those times that things just all came together.

What’s your all time favourite you witnessed but weren’t in, and why?
There have been so many that left me weeping with laughter!  One that comes to mind is a scene in Santa’s toy factory with Brent Hill and Rebecca de Unamuno. I could watch them for ages.

Why do you love improvising?
Because it stops me from over-thinking before the show and it's a delight to see where we all end up.

What’s your favourite colour (after pink)?
Red

What’s your favourite fruit and why?
Pineapple. What's not to love about such a jovial spiky fruit. It tries to keep you away, but eventually relents its sweet and tasty flesh.

What’s your porn name? (first pet + first street you ever lived in)
Midnight Milton

What’s your ambition for pink ladies?
To take over the world!!!!!  Muhahahahah. Ahem.
Seriously though, to have a great time playing and raise some money for a seriously worthwhile cause.

Favourite word?
Moist. Cos it sounds like soggy moss on a rock by a pool when you say it. Onomatopoeia for the win!
