Ep 6: Monica Gaga/James & The Giant King’s Speech

Episode 6: Monica Gaga/James & The Giant King’s Speech

IMDp is an improvised interview podcast. Every week Martina Minnow interviews a director about their upcoming film, but until she introduces them, only Martina knows the guests name and the name of their movie.

Also joining Martina each week are our resident improvisers who create cutaway scenes and clips from the films discussed.

Todays Special Guest:

As seen, heard, staged and featured on BBC Three, BBC News, BBC Click, ITVBe, London Live, BBC History, BBC Radio London, Talk Radio, Global Pillage, The Comedy Store, Hoopla Impro, Omnibus Theatre, Boulevard Theatre, Battersea Arts Centre, The Guardian, Timeout and more... 

Monica Gaga is a British-born black African queer improviser, facilitator, host, and scripted actor and performer.

She trained in Community Theatre at East 15 Acting School, and her boundless love for improv stems from time spent at Second City in Chicago.

When she is not performing, hosting or teaching, Monica is championing diversity, inclusion and equity in improv and trying to get as many people, particularly POC, involved as possible.

Monica is based in London, UK.         www.monicagaga.com
