Chloe Paul powders her nose

Chloe is the member of our troupe with the "most youth". She lived for a while in Canada where she learned to improvise, and the bug has bitten her hard! 


What’s your all time favourite improvised scene that you were in? Why?

Everything I did with the University of British Columbia improv team Holy!Moses The group I worked with were all such fun and generous players and we had a fantastic group mind.


What’s your all time favourite you weren’t in, and why?

I love almost all of the musical games I watch. I love seeing a team pull off a successful song.



Why do you love improvising?

Improv it a great way to centre yourself but I love it because I can be fun and spontaneous.



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

Purple



What’s your favourite fruit and why?

Raspberries, because they taste good fresh and frozen



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

Taddie Salisbury



What’s your ambition for pink ladies?

To raise money and awareness for the Breast Cancer Network of Australia as I have recently had a close family member be diagnosed with breast cancer.



Favourite word?

Dragoon
