THE STORY SO FAR...

Karl Welcomes You Karl is an imposter. Age unknown, probably male, a writer living in London, working undercover as a teacher. Okay, so he's at least twenty five. Ooooh you're clever, whaddya want, a medal? ;)

Karl's Imposter writes about living, writing, shopping, going out and... occasionally does other things... in the street and in your face with his theatre group - when you least expect it. You don't have to worry about KI copping out because of the influence of funding bodies, KI has no intention of making a profit ;)

Plans are in motion for the next show :o

The Extraordinary Mugging of Mr WinterbottomThe Extraordinary Mugging of Mr Winterbottom

For anyone who's ever been mugged, and wondered what it would take to make things change.

Some call it dark or black comedy, others call it physical and psychological torture, as mugger and victim are trapped in the tube due to a signal failure. The tables are turned, but not as you would expect. Whose side will you take? ...Read more

Karl's Imposter at Santacon in the Tate Gallery Karl's Imposter has a knack for interacting with the public when they least expect it.

At the opening of Dark Matter at the White Cube in London, Karl mingled with the crowd and asked questions about madness and society.

... a video was made and the team were further inspired to work on the production of Apparitions of a Cuckoo, which dealt with the themes of madness and mental health [more].

Karl's Imposter went along to Santacon and made a video where they asked people about faith, with sometimes hilarious yet thought provoking responses [more].

    The Grey Greeting

    Jenny was coming down the aisle.
    Suddenly it struck him – a flashback to the Friday night before:

    Karl suddenly found Wednesdays quite relaxing and even.. a little boring.
    Thinking about the week, [...]
