Ever the late bloomer, Ludo came late to the theater/improv scene, with his first role as Fagan in Oliver at the ripe old age 40. Many roles followed; however, while acting has its rewards, nothing gets Ludo's pistons firing quite like improv. Ludo is thrilled to take up the mantle of Village Elder in this talented troupe of lunatics.
