She has studied with Hoopla, The Nursery Theatre and Shoot from the Hip, workshopping with North Coast, Kaci Bealer and Chris Mead amongst many. 

As an OG member of GÄMEZ, when she's not performing she's busy exploring somatic movement practices or interviewing artists and creatives about their bodies or their practice. 

Dave has been improvising in the UK and internationally for a number of years and has been trained by Dingbats, Hoopla, TJ and Dave, The Maydays and other established Improv coaches. 

In addition to improvising, he is a multi award-winning film maker, whose projects are regularly added to on his YouTube channel nanonanofilm.

Harriet started in sketch comedy before founding an all female theatre troupe in NZ. Harriet has been doing improv and stand up for a number of years, and has only tripped on stage twice.

Harry has been improvising over a decade, and has trained with The Maydays, The Nursery, Hoopla, iO Chicago, Patti Stiles, Dave Razowsky, Joe Bill, and Jonathan Pitts, among others - they know who they are.

Miriam is an improviser in the groups Track 96 and The Ol’ Bill, which means she frequently raps and solves crimes on stage, as well as having short form fun with her comrades in GÄMEZ. 

She has performed with troupes in Singapore (The Improvables), Beijing (Beijing Improv) and Sheffield (The Shrimps) and has found a silly walk, a chicken squawk and spontaneous musical numbers to be universal currencies.

Nadine is an improvser experienced in shortform, longform and narrative with training from Hoopla and FA, as well as electives from The Nursery, Second City, and North Coast. 

She is currently a member of GÄMEZ and FA Harold house team Triple Denim. Her favourite shortform game is Party Quirks (she loves to guess)!

Since 2013, she has performed regularly with Improsaurus (NZ), Impro Melbourne (Aus), and Improv Conspiracy (Aus). 

Outside of GÄMEZ, she can be found wandering London's museums and art galleries, and trying not to buy too many postcards from the gift shop.

Rachael is an improv comedian, born and raised in London, which means she likes to occasionally throw in a joke about growing up in Croydon. 

Rachael can also be found performing with Comediasians, the UK's first Asian improv group, or writing comedy novels. She is represented by Bell Lomax Moreton.

Ryan is an improviser from London who has been performing since 2012.

He's been improvising since 2016 and aside from GÄMEZ he has also performed as part of The Ol' Bill, Dark Matters, Not Your Average and Do The Right Scene's Special Delivery as well as taking photos of improv groups and performances. 

His superpower is not understanding British pop culture references.
