Louie Christie performs improv, from time to time, with his friends, and his brother.
Comedy improv, not to be confused with stand-up comedy, is making up games, sketches, and longer bits, on the spot with no script. If you’ve ever seen the TV show ‘Who’s Line is it Anyway’ or the film ‘This Is Spinal Tap’, you know what it is.
London’s underground improv scene is similar whilst mostly white, nerdy, middle-class males prancing about on stage, including Louie Christie.
As a lone adventurer at heart, typically Louie Christie would never join the sort of team that would have him as a member 👃 but Louie Christie does occasionally perform live improv with his friends in:

He has studied improv in: London UK, Vancouver Canada, Istanbul Turkey and Skyros Island in Greece on a hippy retreat near where they filmed “Mamma Mia!”.

Yes, you can actually learn improv. It takes a lot of training to be funny, not shit, and completely lost and unprepared on stage.
