In this episode, we're joined by Minder Kaur Athwal. Minder has been improvising her way through life for decades but found improvised comedy six years ago as a way to help manage her anxiety and depression. She has trained as a facilitator with the Old Vic Theatre and is now an applied improv workshop leader. She regularly takes part in international panels, Q&As and conference talks and in 2019 led a session at the Global Improvisation Symposium.
Minder is one half of improv performing duo Honey Badger, a member of the all female theatre collective The Party Somewhere Else and a member of the Edinburgh International Improv Festival’s advisory board. She brings her knowledge and skills from her varied career to her improv work.
In this episode, we explore:
- improv
- 'winging it'
- networking
- thinking on your feet
- facing rejection
- going outside your comfort zone
and loads more.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
