Project Steve
An Independent Theatre Comedy Production Company

Time for some introductions for the people involved in Project Steve. First off, because I run the website :), here is me, Rich Wareham.
I’ve been involved in performing stage comedy for over five years. I started way-back at University where I helped found Cambridge University’s longest-lived and most popular improvised comedy society, the increasingly strangely names Improvised Comedy Ents. In addition to improvised comedy, I have co-written and directed The X Factor: The Pantomime, a child-targeted satire on television talent show programmes.
Towards the end of University, I performed with the historic Cambridge University Light Entertainment Society taking comic plays to local schools and rest homes.
In 2006 I directed Triple Point Comedy’s production of Not The Crystal Maze at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2007 I again visited the fringe playing a dame version of Lorraine Baines/McFly in Two Shades of Blue’s successful Back To The Future: The Pantomime. During this year’s fringe, I will be celebrating a glorious one year of being pantomime free.
Outside of comedy I work as a Real Scientist (TM). I even have one of those ‘doctor’ things in front of my name!
Project Steve had it’s first practise in Oxford this weekend. Luckily Rich managed to remember his camera so we have captured some of the more exciting moments for posterity. The show is really coming together now and everyone appears to be having lots of fun as evidenced from this shot taken during our ‘tell an improvised joke, one word at a time’ warm-up.
