In the words of Jane:

Miss Rachel Parris has been deftly improvising bons mots for years, alongside players such as ‘Grand Theft Impro’, ‘The Beau Zeaux’ and ‘The Comedy Store Players’. An accomplished pianist, she performs her musical comedy all over the kingdom, on the airwaves of BBC Radio, and she can be found at comedy soirées most evenings in the year. She has graced the screen in ‘The IT Crowd’ and the recent thriller, ‘Murder in Successvile’, and enjoys word games and plaiting her flaxen hair.
