Improvised Comedy
BioPeter started performing in England with London TheatreSports in 1995. He was very active in the London scene up until he left the city in 2000. Arriving in The Netherlands in early 2001, he soon hooked up with a group of people who became Problem Solved and eventually easylaughs. He is a very active member of the Amsterdam improv scene. |
