The Infinite Phenomenon (Director)
 
The Infinite Phenomenon has staged many a fit in order to acquire that extra measure of vodka in the small hours. The Phenomenon has understudied Peggy Ashcroft, Betty Boothroyd, Oliver Reed and is currently Vera Lynn's body double. The Phenomenon has been inhabiting the cellar of these premises since the termination of forty years loyal devotion to the Winter Gardens, Wigan, where the Phenomenon learnt Finnish and demolished pantomimes.

Anthony Dowlatshahi (Musical Director)
 
Anthony is currently a finalist studying music and drama at Royal Holloway, University of London. During the final weeks of his second year, some freak weather transpired over the college. A tornado sucked him up from his practice piano and dumped him in the Grand Union Canal. The artistic director's assistant fished him out and here he is.

Bea Holland (Performer)
 
Bea is confused at finding herself back at the Canal Cafe. Since her last stint of Newsrevue she has worked at the BAC in A Christmas Carol and puppeteered alongside some sweaty Portuguese men a big warehouse with Wireframe

Christopher Bryant (Performer)
 
Christopher Bryant attended Mountview. He wrote a hilarious biog (honest) - but someone couldn't be bothered to type it out and now it's lost.

Christopher Holt (Performer)
 
Christopher Holt thinks he graduated from Middlesex Polytechnic about a decade ago (although we suspect it was a lot longer than that!!!). He has vague recollections of directing several shows for Italian children, German poofs, middle class brats and open prison inmates. He has played at least on CAT, a hyena in The Lion King, a variety of villains and two women. His one claim to fame is he is the only actor in London who has not been in The Bill

Jan Timms (Performer)
 
As a child, Jan dreamt of having a boring office job with good prospects and a pension, but her parents made her go to Central School of Speech and Drama. Following the compulsory bit part on The Bill, 2 episodes of Family Affairs (gynecological nurse) and the line "Rumpy is that you?" in Extremely Dangerous with Sean Bean (they cut her), Jan has been busy pursuing her waitressing career and was understandably appalled at the prospect of performing again, but was eventually persuaded by the enormous fee. If anyone has a spare agent lying around could Jan have it?

Jason Peck (Performer)
 
Jason first discovered a knack for performing comedy while he was performing in The Crucible. he "accidentally" ad-libbed a line and the audience rocked with laughter. He was later replaced. Since graduating 2 years ago he's worked consistently without the help of nepotism. Honest. Jason's found himself appearing in TIE shows that have toured England & Italy (he claims to have been no where near Genoa)
