We never know what's going to happen in Katy and Rach and it's always a joy to find out. We met early at the Miller on Wednesday where director Alexis Gallagher took us through his genius warm ups. We had Jingo and Butterfield opening for us with some great characters such as the cabin boy and captain on a historical murder mystery voyage. We had a fairly small crowd, but though the Miller was only half full, the audience was warm, enthused and loved the show. With some eye contact and the position of my hands, we found we had started Katy and Rach with a little improvised close up magic. The show became about magicians, the magic circle and the hell of children's parties. I'm a big fan of object work in improv and had a ball playing Ian, pillar of the magic circle whose whole career revolved around his cane tricks. The favourite of these was turning his cane into his business card. The audience actually gasped as if it was a real magic trick! I love improv. People really join you with their imagination.
There was a crazy point in the show when Rachel's character 'Park of Darkness' (yes, that was her name) was attempting to go into trance for a seance but couldn't. She asked her geeky boyfriend Mark to help out. At this point - as Mark - all I could think of to do was to cast a magick circle. A real one. As a pagan I know how to make a sacred space by tracing the outline and invoking the quarters. It felt odd to use lines I know, but if you were a real vicar who ended up playing a vicar in an improv show, you would totally use scripture. I realised at the end of the show that I hadn't closed the circle, so I asked the producer Steve Roe if he wanted me to take it down. He decided he was cool with leaving it there for a couple of weeks and then we'd use the power that had built up in the circle to do some improv good. Nice one, Steve. I also had a man who claimed to be the Druid Mayor of London come up to me afterwards and say he loved the show! Brilliant. Among the audience were two fun Polish improvisers who were taping the show and interviewed us afterwards. See their thoughts and our improvised stories here. Robin has declared himself head of the Katy and Rach Polish Fan Club. Aww, cute. He asked us to improvise stories with the same opening line. After listening to them later, I was delighted that me and Rachel's stories took a similar romantic turn. Hooray for our group mind. Funny that Robin wanted to prove that our stories were different to show that we were really improvising and that I hoped they were similar to show that we were really improvising. Food for thought. Tomorrow is rehearsal time for Music Box and Tuesday is the next show, so get your fiver ready and I'll see you at the Miller!

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too
