Rosie says her favorite Pick and Mix work was a sea shanty version of the Irish drinking game.

1. Liverpool Comedy ImprovCast episode 130 centres on Rosie Sosic and her path through the Liverpool improv scene. 2. Ian Luke-Jones hosts the show, and Rosie matters because she is part of Pick and Mix and the wider LCI community. 3. The episode asks what improv has changed for Rosie, from creativity and confidence to performance choices and group work. 4. Rosie says she did drama-based work as a child, studied drama at John Moores, and took a module on improvisation there. 5. She says she then had “nearly 20 years” with very little improv before moving back to Liverpool. 6. Rosie joined Emma’s course without doing any drop-ins first, and that course led her into Pick and Mix. 7. She says she finished a comedy writing MA a couple of years ago and wanted improv to support her writing process. 8. Rosie links improv to characterization, sketches, and finding ideas for comedy writing. 9. Ian notes that improv has become more visible, and Rosie agrees that Liverpool’s improv scene now feels more mainstream. 10. Rosie says her family, including her mum, now notices improv because Stephen Graham mentioned it on “The One Show.” 11. Rosie says Secki made the first LCI room feel “safe,” which helped her get past fears of looking silly. 12. She says professional actors often fear freezing or looking foolish, and improv works when a group can say “yes.” 13. Rosie recalls a PGL-style coasteering trip in Cornwall where she jumped off a cliff after hearing children cheering her on. 14. She says Pick and Mix’s first audience performance was “terrifying,” but trust inside the group made it work. 15. Rosie says the group is taking a break from performances to focus on being “more cohesive” and on character work. 16. She says she likes sessions where members lead games, because different people bring in games from other training and improv workshops. 17. Rosie says her favourite game type is character work, especially the game where physical traits and questions build a character. 18. She also likes press conference, because it turns on puns, double meanings, and “silly questions.” 19. Ian says listeners who enjoy Liverpool improv, group dynamics, and comedy writing will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting polished theory over practical improv stories may skip it.
