2 part answer…
Part 1: the team
It all started at Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia, Canada in the 90’s when Scott, Andrew and Dave (see Sidekicks page for more info on Dave) met on the late night improv stage. TWU students ran an improv league called 11:07. In 1996 eight improvisors came together to continue practicing and performing outside of 11:07. They got their start performing for local youth groups, a few businesses, and a local Christian Club. Over the course of a year the team dwindled to a committed threesome of Scott, Andrew and Dave. The Panic Squad went full-time in June of 2001.
Part 2: individuals
Andrew started at TWU in 1991 and was bit by the improv bug. He has been with the Squad since day one.
Scott began playing organized improv in grade 10 (1992) and continued when he started at TWU in 1995. While he’s been playing with The Panic Squad since day one, he left the team in June 2001 to pursue other career options. Scott was reinstated into full-time Squad touring on May 1st, 2005.
Cliff started doing improv in grade10 (1992) as part of the Canadian Improv Games. He joined The Panic Squad in July 2001.
