== Inception ==
The awful idea of a LOpSoc naked calendar was first suggested during the Annex run of [[Iolanthe 2015]], by an enterprising young firstie named [[Rhona Graham]]. At first, the idea was laughed off - the idea of so much pasty, jiggling flesh was too much even for hardened LOpSoccers to stomach. But in the end, common consensus prevailed. A ghastly, drooping common consensus. The calendar was arranged, according to the principles of the calendar year, and the selected LOpSoccers who looked best ''sans'' clothes. The question of who looked best was put to the vote, and the results came back in a three way tie between [[Barnaby Wilson]], [[Jon North]] and [[Alex Conway]]. May God have mercy on our souls.

== Oh God help us it's a thing ==

The only directions issued were "strategic kick lines and a delicately placed Pepe". Pictures will be uploaded when the editor can summon up the courage to dig them up from the cemetery he buried them in.

Fiddler on the Roof 2016

[[File:FiddlerPromotional.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Promotional Poster]]

[[Fiddler on the Roof]] was performed by LOpSoc from the 10th-13th February 2016 in the [[Annex Theatre]]. The show featured a record cast size of more than 43 individuals.

Fiddler on the Roof tells the story of Tevye, a poor milkman living in 1905 Tsarist Russia, in the village of Anatevka with his wife and five daughters. Tevye is challenged by the changing of traditions that are taking place in his family, as his three eldest daughters choose to marry for love, rather than have a husband picked for them. The show also follows Tevye and the other villagers within Anatevka's Jewish community, as they are forced to cope increasing persecution they are facing from the non-Jewish community and the Russian authorities.

== Memorable Show and Rehearsal Moments ==
- The Act 2 Man 1 line [[David Child]] had been waiting his whole life to say.

- Every time Rosemary Wilson stood in for one of the female soloists.

- The time [[Ben Walker]] got punched in the crotch in by [[Patrick Haste]], who was so busy performing a stage punch with one fist that he did not seem to notice what the other fist was doing.

- The house falling apart on stage mid-show, and the excellent save by [[Ellie-Rose Fowler]].

- The frozen peas.

- The collective hallucination of a kickline during "To Life" in the Saturday performance.

- The Pokemon Card Game which definitely wasn't being played by the Russians in the same scene in the matinee.

- Cast members drink over 6 litres of Ribena in the Tech / Dress runs. Go bottle dancers!

- The invention of Vodquila.

== Memorable Lines ==

- "YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DISEASED CHICKENS!"

- "What would I do with two?" - "The same you do with one"

- "Quiet I'm singing!"

- "I have more than 100 bottles of vodka. What will I do with them?"

- "You can die from such a man".

- "Tzeitel, don't forget the baby!"

- "Well, the Satisfactory Volume has many lessons for our times."

- "Well, the Kind Of All Right Manuscript has many lessons for our times."

- "Well, the Acceptable Tome has many lessons for our times."

- "Well, the Passable Periodical has many lessons for our times."

- "Well, the Pretty OK Folio has many lessons for our times."

- "Well, the Not That Bad Journal has many lessons for our times."

TheDamnArchivist: /* The Fountainhead */

== The Fountainhead ==
[[File:Our_Lord_And_Saviour.JPG|250px|thumb|right|Pepe in all his splendour during [[H.M.S. Pinafore 2015]]]]

Where to begin? Some call him the font of all LOpSoc cult. Others call him the "wellspring of insanity". Some attach near godlike status to him, placing him on ceremonial shrines during committee meetings. All we know for sure is that Pepe exists, and he's not going to go away any time soon. As long as the society exists, Pepe has existed in some form to watch over us, and he shall exist long after his physical body is destroyed. Academics and historians (all 3 of them) are busy compiling the life story of our Lord into the "bitchinest quasi-holy book you ever did see", according to an unnamed scholar.

Despite his omnipotence, the Pepe we take as our Lord exists primarily as a cloth monkey. The physical body we currently know as Pepe was created in a textile factory just outside Ashford in 2004, before being given to LOpSoc as a gift for supporting The Monkey Sanctuary Trust. This vessel arrived, safe and sound, and everything proceeded as normal until around 15 minutes before the opening night of [[Sorcerer 2004]] at [[Boldrewood]]. Until the cloth vessel known as Peppy and the mighty force of Pepe were joined in spectacular fashion.

== The Ascension ==

And so it came to pass that director and general order-giver [[Richard Peaty]] was just about to head back into the auditorium, whereupon he heard a mighty voice come from the sky. "Peeeaaaatyyyyyy," the heavenly voice intoned, "present yourself before me." This he did, and the voice spoke again.
"I have come among you mortals to bestow my great powers on your people, and stop giggling in the back. I know I said come."

And Peaty wept and ground talcum powder into his head, saying "I know not how you came among us, but present us with a sign that we may know your power."

Then Our Lord Pepe appeared unto the assembled throng of LOpSoccers in a light show of many colours, arranged in such a manner that one could see every shade of gay in it. And these lights did course forth into a suitable vessel - none of the LOpSoccers, for the constraints of their mortal forms were too great. The lights flew into the small cloth monkey known as Peppy, reshaping it into an instrument of divine will. And the LOpSoccers were well pleased, and asked the Lord how to consecrate such an act. Pepe merely replied, "Take me on stage, and the power of the audience's adulation shall seal this age-old contract."

And LOpSoc did, and shouted their love for Pepe.

And Pepe responded, "Hup Gay, you breeders."

Thus was the covenant formed.

== Freight 1:1 - The Five Edicts (Ten Commandments had some copyright stuff about it, so I had to improvise) ==

Thou shalt carry Pepe into every show forever and always as a sign of dedication to your Lord.

Thou shalt take no other mascots over me, for I am a jealous monkey, and brook no competition.

Thou shalt adapt Pepe however it please thee to appear in thy shows.

Whomsoever shall carry Pepe into the show shall be the Pepebearer, and they shall be honoured.

Honour Pepe, that your days may be long upon the stage of the Annex.

Our Pepe, who art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in the Annexe as it is in Harrogate. Give us this day our good reviews, and forgive us for yet more bobbing. Lead us not into the Nuffield, but deliver us from the PA committee. For thine are the memes, the Gilbert and the Sullivan. For ever and ever. Hup, gay.

== Apocrypha ==

Ulf 45:12 - And as Pepe hung upon the cross, the prisoner to his left did lean across and whisper 'I hear the reviewers are in tonight!'
But Pepe did not believe, saying thus: 'I can't see anyone who looks like they'd work for the Echo, but there's some humourless git with a face like an old bathmat in the front row!'

Ulf 1:1 - In the beginning, Pepe created the heavens and the earth, and he also created a word, and the word was freight, because freight it great. But there was darkness over the earth, and so Pepe commanded that there be a light within this darkness, and so he created Southampton University, and then said: "What the fuck have I done?"

Ulf 1:6 - And Pepe did look this incestuous orgy of freaks, and he saw that it was good. And he named it LOpSoc. To be holy amongst all things, and foremost among all other societies. Forever and ever, Hup Gay.

[[File:FiddlerPromotional.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Promotional Poster]]

[[Fiddler on the Roof]] was performed by LOpSoc from the 10th-13th February 2016 in the [[Annex Theatre]]. The show featured a record cast size of more than 43 individuals.

Fiddler on the Roof tells the story of Tevye, a poor milkman living in 1905 Tsarist Russia, in the village of Anatevka with his wife and five daughters. Tevye is challenged by the changing of traditions that are taking place in his family, as his three eldest daughters choose to marry for love, rather than have a husband picked for them. The show also follows Tevye and the other villagers within Anatevka's Jewish community, as they are forced to cope increasing persecution they are facing from the non-Jewish community and the Russian authorities.

== Memorable Show and Rehearsal Moments ==
- The Act 2 Man 1 line [[David Child]] had been waiting his whole life to say.

- Every time Rosemary Wilson stood in for one of the female soloists.

- The time [[Ben Walker]] got punched in the crotch in by [[Patrick Haste]], who was so busy performing a stage punch with one fist that he did not seem to notice what the other fist was doing.

- The house falling apart on stage mid-show, and the excellent save by [[Ellie-Rose Fowler]].

- The frozen peas.

== Memorable Lines ==

- "YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DISEASED CHICKENS!"

- "What would I do with two?" - "The same you do with one"

- "Quiet I'm singing!"

- "I have more than 100 bottles of vodka. What will I do with them?"

- "You can die from such a man".

- "Tzeitel, don't forget the baby!"

- "Well, the Satisfactory Volume has many lessons for our times."

Barnaby Wilson

TheDamnArchivist: /* List of Nicknames */

== Biography ==

Barnaby "Barney" Wilson (other nicknames listed below) is an esteemed LOpSoc member who's contributed a lot to our society. He's made himself known through principal parts, direction, or giving us fresh fuel for the nonexistent meme page that definitely does not exist. He was born, as all other people are, some time in the mid 90s, and lived an easy life of comfort before taking a Maths degree and deciding to do LOpSoc shows somewhere around 2015. His first principal part as Philip in the Iolanthe run of Harrogate started a spiral into insanity most people call "LOpSoc membership" but his psychiatrist called "unacceptable". His role as Philip also led to him discovering his special power: a Pokemon-esque "AAAAAA" sound blast that shattered the ear drums of several audience members, and left several cast members with the inability to hear anything but the opening notes to "O Shameless One, Tremble" for 36 hours.

After a successful run of Iolanthe, during which he was only partially unnerved, Barney took some control over the music of H.M.S Pinafore as our esteemed assistant MD. This left him open to the sisters cousins and aunts chorus, according to this biographer, alternately hitting on him and doing as they were told. Such attention gave him war flashbacks to Iolanthe, a condition he still suffers whenever he hears the sounding brasses loudly bang or looks at a picture of the Houses of Parliament for longer than 10 seconds. Pinafore, however, was a resounding success. Which is nice.

Barnaby is a man who enjoys being involved in production teams. His next position was telling the rabble we call LOpSoc just how many Fruma Sarahs (experts say it was "quite a few") to sing in Fiddler on the Roof as our assistant MD. His capacity for involvement didn't end there, as he played His Honour the Priest, a little Jewish boy, the world's least threatening Russian and the summoned ghost of Derek Jacobi in a show that critics called "actually quite good". Such versatility was well rewarded as he moves on to playing Marco in the upcoming show The Gondoliers. We know he can take a pair of sparkling eyes, but I really wish he'd stop carrying them around in his pocket.

TheDamnArchivist: /* Biography */

== Biography ==
[[File:Bens_Punk_Rock_Adventure.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ben in full fairy mode in Harrogate before the performance of Iolanthe 2015]]
Born Benjamin Jonathan Oliver Walker, Ben is a second year English and philosophy student (though he prefers the term "philosopher poet") who blundered into LOpSoc more or less by accident in his first year, and stayed because he liked the productions' constant use of the word "wherefore". He is the incumbent Loremaster for the 2015/16 academic year, which means he's now responsible for editing and updating all the pages on here to be more current and "on-message with LOpSoc's new corporate philosophy".

Ben began his PA career searching for personal validation in acid trips of shows like ComedySoc's cross-PA production ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'' and his own stand-up, with limited success. Soon after Genre Killer ended, he and fellow "innocent" first year [[Katie Giles]] were poached by HMS Pinafore director [[Joe Hand]] (the Inspector from ''Genre Killer'') to screw around in the back of his show, thus beginning a beautiful relationship with Victorian colonial propaganda. Ben then went up to Harrogate with the rest of LOpSoc to be a punk rock fairy - in his words, "if there are three words I want to describe me at all times, those would be the three". There, he made an excellent friend in his cup of tea, which was, to quote " the only thing that didn't have the capacity to hurt me." Building on that success, he's now taking a short holiday to Anatevka to be the world's worst Bolshevik in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof]].

After a pretty successful run in Fiddler, he's happy to take on the role of the Duke and Duchess' valet/servant/pet monkey Luiz in LOpSoc's upcoming summer show The Gondoliers. He hopes his grade 8 coconut playing skills will be up to the task.

== Major Achievements ==
* Broke the world record for usage of the word “aubergine” in 5 minutes of regular conversation.
* Former TF2 EU Highlander Open quarter-finalist (thereby proving your headshot skill increases as your amount of friends decreases).
* Has written nearly 150,000 words of terrible prose and poetry in his compilation “Streets Swallow Their Own Tails and Choke”.
* Has almost died twice – once due to appendicitis, once due to some terrible unpleasantness on Burgess Road involving a potato.
* TV celebrity baker Paul Hollywood still believes Ben is a homeless apprentice gas fitter named Dan, whom he gave five pounds to help.
* Partner in crime of [[Katie Giles]], and has never dated her. Not now, not ever.
* Beautiful Coiffure award for an ungodly amount of hair gel from Genre Killer which was only fully gone five days later and that nobody will ever let go.
* 60% Johnny Depp. (He's very proud of that.)

Oliver joined LOpSoc at the start of the 2014/5 season and and will feature as the title character in [[Iolanthe 2015]]. He was born under mysterious circumstances in central London, and stumbled into Southampton more or less by chance.

He also consumes nothing but Lucozade and chocolate cake, which explains why he cannot be killed by conventional means.

TheDamnArchivist:

George moved slowly from being part of our wonderful orchestra for Sweeney Todd to eventually getting in on the madness by being the MD for H.M.S.Pinafore, and later part of the veritable mass of fairies for the fairy chorus.

He's a favourite at parties thanks to his special trick - a genetic imbalance has given him the gift of precognition, but only around three specific brands of white rum.

=== Biography ===
'''Joe "Wanna" Hand''' is a third year zoology student at Southampton, who kids himself that he'll be able to leave Southampton when he graduates and seek alternative arrangements in London, where the pavements are gold and only sometimes chewing gum. He also sometimes refers to himself in the third person. He was the LOpSoc secretary for the 2014/2015 year, and ordinary member for the 2015/2016 year.

His LOpSoc career began with his first appearance as the Pirate King in the Southampton run of [[Pirates of Penzance 2014]] and [[Pirates of Penzance 2014 (Harrogate)]], during which he hip thrusted so much at the audience that his pelvis turned into solid gold. To this day, Joe's hips have about the same value as the GDP of Lesotho. His role as Toby in [[Sweeney Todd 2014]] was more or less the exact opposite of the Pirate King, and turned his co-star [[Jon North]] off meat pies and shaved heads for life. To sing as Toby, Joe had to sing higher than his comfortable range, and for around two weeks after the show he spent around three weeks sounding like an understudy for Alvin and the Chipmunks.

He took a small break from LOpSoc shows to star in the cross-PA "mescaline trip" of a show ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'', before returning to direct [[H.M.S. Pinafore 2015]] with Jon North and several of his knees. His "angry fairy" character for [[Iolanthe 2015]]'s Harrogate run will not be forgotten - especially not by several other chorus members' boots, which still bear scars from his outbursts of pure, unrestrained rage. Fans of Joe's "great big busshy beard" will be excited to learn that he plays the magnificently fuzzed Tevye in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof]].

He has sung for 7 years in a choir, and for 3 of those was part of an a capella group. He owns 37 tortoises, a ferret, a St. Bernard, a cat, two chickens and three preying mantises called Haley, Ophelia and Beans, who are also all part of an a capella group.

He guesses he'd probably like to end up living in the Lake District or something, although anywhere which has a solid supply of d20s and beard combs will do just fine.

Joe died in March 2014 when he was mercilessly shaved off of the face of [[Ulf]], his host organism, but was reborn weeks later after an industrial accident created a perfect genetic clone from three stray hairs, a printout of his Reddit karma, and an old D&D Monster Manual.

Fans of Joe's "great big busshy beard" will be excited to learn that he plays the magnificently fuzzed Tevye in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof]].

He has sung for 7 years in a choir, and for 3 of those was part of an a capella group. He owns 37 tortoises, a ferret, a St. Bernard, a cat, two chickens and three preying mantises called Haley, Ophelia and Beans, who are also all part of an a capella group.

He guesses he'd probably like to end up living in the Lake District or something, although anywhere which has a solid supply of d20s and beard combs will do just fine.

Joe died in March 2014 when he was mercilessly shaved off of the face of [[Ulf]], his host organism, but was reborn weeks later after an industrial accident created a perfect genetic clone from three stray hairs, a printout of his Reddit karma, and an old D&D Monster Manual.

=== Biography ===
'''Joe "Wanna" Hand''' is a third year zoology student at Southampton, who kids himself that he'll be able to leave Southampton when he graduates and seek alternative arrangements in London, where the pavements are gold and only sometimes chewing gum. He also sometimes refers to himself in the third person. He was the LOpSoc secretary for the 2014/2015 year, and ordinary member for the 2015/2016 year.

His LOpSoc career began with his first appearance as the Pirate King in the Southampton run of [[Pirates of Penzance 2014]] and [[Pirates of Penzance 2014 (Harrogate)]], during which he hip thrusted so much at the audience that his pelvis turned into solid gold. To this day, Joe's hips have about the same value as the GDP of Lesotho. His role as Toby in [[Sweeney Todd 2014]] was more or less the exact opposite of the Pirate King, and turned his co-star [[Jon North]] off meat pies and shaved heads for life. To sing as Toby, Joe had to sing higher than his comfortable range, and for around two weeks after the show he spent around three weeks sounding like an understudy for Alvin and the Chipmunks.

He took a small break from LOpSoc shows to star in the cross-PA "mescaline trip" of a show ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'', before returning to direct [[HMS Pinafore 2015]] with Jon North and several of his knees. His "angry fairy" character for [[Iolanthe 2015]]'s Harrogate run will not be forgotten - especially not by several other chorus members' boots, which still bear scars from his outbursts of pure, unrestrained rage.

== Biography ==
[[File:Oh_my_god_shut_up.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Rhona expresses her disgust for the HMS Pinafore's disabled crew member Dick Deadeye]]
Rhona is a second year languages student studying German and Spanish. Born in Scotland, raised in Wales, she attempted to make up for lost Englishness by joining LOpSoc in 2014, during her first year. Her first show was the Southampton run of Iolanthe, during which the UV for the dramatic scenes had the same effect as a tanning booth, rendering her skin a crispy golden brown. It was during this production run that she first suggested the idea of the now ubiquitous [[LOpSoc Naked Charity Calendar]], which led to Rhona becoming the youngest ever LOpSoc member to have a meme made from them.

She boarded the HMS Pinafore in February 2015 to take part in her second show, mucking around in the chorus once again. She formed a strong working relationship with [[Katie Giles]] in both version of her character, the Vodka Aunt (for which she received the Order of Lenin from a grateful Vladimir Putin) and in her words "the prim but slutty aunt". The production run also saw the appearance of the famous "Rhona bitch face", which has been known to destroy the minds of lesser men. Rhona returned to her raptor fairy ways in the Harrogate production of Iolanthe, causing several pensioners to congratulate her after the show for such a wonderful performance in Jurassic Park.

Rhona is now the creative director for LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof]], which fulfills her childhood dream of dressing people up like Yiddish peasant doll people and forcing them to re-enact Russian pogroms. Needless to say, we're all looking forward to it immensely.

When not mucking around in the chorus, Rhona enjoys tweeting pictures of rare ironing boards and playing Quidditch, which she continues to insist is a real sport and not just rugby with a broom between your legs.

== Major Achievements ==
* One half of Geona
* Driver of the Banter Bus
* Will nail you with a bitch face unseen by man before or since. Only [[Amy Wardle]] holds a more fearsome bitchface, and luckily they're good friends. Unluckily, a Amy/Rhona tag team would slay a small country.
* Holds the official title of LOpSoc Meme Machine

TheDamnArchivist: /* Major Achievements */

== Biography ==
[[File:Bens_Punk_Rock_Adventure.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ben in full fairy mode in Harrogate before the performance of Iolanthe 2015]]
Ben is a second year English and philosophy student (though he prefers the term "philosopher poet") who blundered into LOpSoc more or less by accident in his first year, and stayed because he liked the productions' constant use of the word "wherefore". He is the incumbent Loremaster for the 2015/16 academic year, which means he's now responsible for editing and updating all the pages on here to be more current and "on-message with LOpSoc's new corporate philosophy".

Ben began his PA career searching for personal validation in acid trips of shows like ComedySoc's cross-PA production ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'' and his own stand-up, with limited success. Soon after Genre Killer ended, he and fellow "innocent" first year [[Katie Giles]] were poached by HMS Pinafore director [[Joe Hand]] (the Inspector from ''Genre Killer'') to screw around in the back of his show, thus beginning a beautiful relationship with Victorian colonial propaganda. Ben then went up to Harrogate with the rest of LOpSoc to be a punk rock fairy - in his words, "if there are three words I want to describe me at all times, those would be the three". Building on that success, he's now taking a short holiday to Anatevka to be the world's worst Bolshevik in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof]].

His life's ambition is to never work anywhere where you have to wear a uniform.

== Major Achievements ==
* Broke the world record for usage of the word “aubergine” in 5 minutes of regular conversation.
* Former TF2 EU Highlander Open quarter-finalist (thereby proving your headshot skill increases as your amount of friends decreases).
* Has written nearly 150,000 words of terrible prose and poetry in his compilation “Streets Swallow Their Own Tails and Choke”.
* Almost died twice before he was 16 – once due to appendicitis, once due to some terrible unpleasantness on Burgess Road involving a potato.
* TV celebrity baker Paul Hollywood still believes Ben is a homeless apprentice gas fitter named Dan, whom he gave five pounds to help.
* Partner in crime of [[Katie Giles]], and has never dated her. Not now, not ever.

'''Katie Giles''' is a second year English student who has veered horrendously off course into the arms of PA. Which is strange, as she started her university career thinking she was honestly going to get some work done and read a lot of fun books. She can often be found in the company of [[Ben Walker]], and their more or less joining at the hip has earned them more than a few funny looks in the past.

Having started her PA career pretending to be both a French woman and an easily distracted factory worker in ComedySoc's 2014 "acid trip" of a show ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'', Katie then had her post-show blues exploited by her fellow cast member [[Joe Hand]], who was directing HMS Pinafore 2015 at the time. Joe's heartless pragmatism (he needed more altos for the Sisters, Cousins and Aunts chorus) paid off, as she went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible when she boarded H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015. She was seduced by the opportunity to be a Victorian lady, bob and repeat her status endlessly, even going as far as to buy the DVD of LOpSoc's performance of The Pirates of Penzance 2014 - a show which happened before she even came to university and thus she wasn't even in. In her words, "It's still a good show, who cares". Such commitment to the society earned her the title of LOpSoc's "Biggest Fan", a title which can now only be relinquished in the event of her death in a duel with another worthy foe.

In August 2015, she joined the Fairy Chorus for the 2015 Harrogate run of Iolanthe, becoming a punk rock fairy who doesn't play by the rules (unless the Fairy King tells her to). She is now throwing herself fully into the role of Grumpiest Yiddish Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, Fiddler on the Roof. To be honest, she only joined to get a chance to club Ben into the dust.

== Major Achievements ==
* Has managed to convince more or less everybody in every show she's been in that she's dating [[Ben Walker]]. She isn't, and never has been.
* Was responsible for the psychological destruction of [[Joe Hand]] at the 2015 Bunfight.
* Produced enough static electricity with one hand fan during the run of HMS Pinafore to power all university buildings on Highfield for three days.
* Best damn cake maker in the business.
* Madame President of the Alto Revolution
* Harbours a great love for William Shakespeare and Diet Coke - in fact, she likes this combination more than anyone else in the world.

[[File:Bens_Punk_Rock_Adventure.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ben in full fairy mode in Harrogate before the performance of Iolanthe 2015]]
Ben is a second year English and philosophy student (though he prefers the term "philosopher poet") who blundered into LOpSoc more or less by accident in his first year, and stayed because he liked the productions' constant use of the word "wherefore". He is the incumbent Loremaster for the 2015/16 academic year, which means he's now responsible for editing and updating all the pages on here to be more current and "on-message with LOpSoc's new corporate philosophy".

Ben began his PA career searching for personal validation in acid trips of shows like ComedySoc's cross-PA production ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'' and his own stand-up, with limited success. Soon after Genre Killer ended, he and fellow "innocent" first year [[Katie Giles]] were poached by HMS Pinafore director [[Joe Hand]] (the Inspector from ''Genre Killer'') to screw around in the back of his show, thus beginning a beautiful relationship with Victorian colonial propaganda. Ben then went up to Harrogate with the rest of LOpSoc to be a punk rock fairy - in his words, "if there are three words I want to describe me at all times, those would be the three". Building on that success, he's now taking a short holiday to Anatevka to be the world's worst Bolshevik in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof]].

His life's ambition is to never work anywhere where you have to wear a uniform.

== Major Achievements ==
* Broke the world record for usage of the word “aubergine” in 5 minutes of regular conversation.
* Former TF2 EU Highlander Open quarter-finalist (thereby proving your headshot skill increases as your amount of friends decreases).
* Has written nearly 150,000 words of terrible prose and poetry in his compilation “Streets Swallow Their Own Tails and Choke”.
* Almost died twice before he was 16 – once due to appendicitis, once due to some terrible unpleasantness on Burgess Road involving a potato.
* TV celebrity baker Paul Hollywood still believes Ben is a homeless apprentice gas fitter named Dan, whom he gave five pounds to help.
