MEET OUR MIXMATCED TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS!
MixMatched is a non-for-profit organisation, and we rely upon a lot of help from our community! Adam Dorr and Simon Kempthorne have been with us since the start of building up our nights and workshops.
simon kempthorne
Simon Kempthorne is our friendly ‘odd jobs man’ and enthusastic photographer!- He takes most of the photos at our MixMatched nights (and you can ask him you’d like something specific/to be filmed, or if you’d like him not to take photos, or delete anything). Simon sometimes performs his own comedy, and considers himself ‘punny’, and is part of ‘Autistic Assemble’, the Neurodivergent+ improv comedy group that formed out of MixMatched and Jammies sessions. 🙂
adam dorr
Adam Dorr began performing with Mixmatched right at the beginning and now hosts a number of his own nights including ‘Stand-up at the Stour’ in Canterbury and ‘Funny Folk’ in Folkstone, alongside performing his own comedy, including his one man show, ‘In-Adam-Quate’. A seasoned performer and presenter, Adam champions Neurodivergent+ inclusivity and has attended, presented and helped out at many our MixMatched nights and workshops. He hosts our ‘Autistic Assemble’ Improv group and currently runs our ‘punny times’ competition.
