Following their hugely popular show earlier this year at the Headgate, Essex based comedy improv troupe, Lady’s Inconvenience, are making a welcome return to the Colchester theatre.

Set up by Witham actor and comedian Amy Trigg, the group will be taking to the stage with their own brand of comedy, which has been a year in the making.

Amy said: “As part of my acting training I did a bit of comedy and after I left I decided I wanted to do more improvised stuff but the only problem was most of the venues are pretty inaccessible to someone like me.”

That’s because from the age of eight, Amy has been in a wheelchair. This is due to her being born with spina bifida, a condition which means the spine hasn’t developed properly leaving an incomplete closing of the membranes around the spinal chord.

Not that the condition had stopped her smashing the whole theatre and comedy thing for that matter.

As part of a placement with the Mercury Theatre, she assisted on both the Wind in the Willows and their updated ‘Essex’ version of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.

Since then she picked up the Colchester New Comedian of the Year Award and last year toured with a smash hit production of the Who’s rock opera Tommy.

Now she’s back with the troupe who on the night will be joined by other local comedy groups.

With plenty of mince pies and laughter, and again with BSL signing, Lady’s Inconvenience Christmas Improv Party is at the Headgate Theatre, tomorrow at 8pm. Tickets are £8, from 01206 366000.
