Mimi has a BA in Acting from the Arts University Bournemouth and in 2021 graduated with an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Exeter. While studying her MA, Mimi took a Screen writing pathway and took a particular interest in the structure of British sitcoms and her final dissertation was on ‘The Timeless Appeal of Comic Archetypes’.
Since graduating, Mimi has begun writing and performing stand-up performances which resulted (much to her surprise) in her winning Cornwall Comedian of the Year 2022 on her third ever gig. She has since performed as support for Kernow King on his latest tour and is currently performing in Ed Rowe’s Cornish Caretakers theatre show.
Mimi has also recently co-written, produced and performed in a darkly comic Christmas show for Bodmin Jail, Krampus Grotto.
Daniel has been a professional actor, writer and theatre director since 2008. He is the Co-Artistic Director of nationally touring theatre company ‘Owdyado Theatre (A View from the Edge, Twisted Tales, Twisted Tales Vol. 2, Twisted Tales goes to Edinburgh) and a co-founder of Near-ta Theatre (creators of cult Christmas comedy Christmas. Time. which has run every year for 15 years and counting).
As well as being a regular theatre actor for various companies Daniel has written thirteen professionally produced theatre shows and has directed shows for various companies including ‘Owdyado Theatre, Miracle Theatre and The Hall for Cornwall.
Tim moved to Cornwall at the age of 4 and grew up in Newlyn (still one of his favourite places). His first performance was at the age of 16 as a walk-on in BBC’s Poldark in the 1970s. Tim has always loved performing and has involved himself in a number of community productions, working with local groups and has worked with local community arts organisations on a range of projects such as the Golowan ‘Christmazy Grottos’ and the Golowan (midsummer)and Montol (midwinter) festivals in Penzance.
A few years ago, he took the decision to become a full-time performer and get some formal training. He graduated in 2020 with a BA (Hons) degree in Theatre & Performance after studying at the Academy of Music and Theatre Arts, Falmouth University. He continues to fill his time performing in films and on stage as well as some storytelling. Later in the summer, he’s off to Osborne House on the Isle of Wight for his 3rd year of Punch and Judy shows. Most recently, he has been showered with milky water on a cold April night whilst working on a student production.
