WHOOPS has now survived into its third year, against all odds. The precise reason for its original formation is unclear, although one could say the same about the universe, the monarchy and Arsenal Football Club. Resolutely ignoring the facts of life, WHOOPS continues its mission to gladden the heart through the medium of theatrical frivolities best described as “non-professional semantic comedies”.

 

Their motto remains “the key to happiness is always under the next doormat.”

 

WHOOPS is opposed to the use of apostrophes and adverbs.

Torquil McNeilage

Torquil McNeilage does not usually look this ill. In fact, he eats a varied diet and takes regular exercise, both of the arms and the legs. In his spare time, he does an incredibly obscure job and no one has ever established exactly what it is. Asked about his writing process, he once said “you must never let your standards get too high. If you sit down to write something good, you’ll never do anything.”

Tim Woolgar

Despite a penchant for the X Factor, Tim Woolgar is a witty and entertaining man who makes for good company at parties. He is also surprisingly talented at boring things, like making sure photographic documents are the right size and being on time for meetings. The scion of a thespian family, he always knows exactly when to say “where’s my motivation, love?”
