GRADUATION 2021: Rising comedy talent Charlotte Cropper says degree was 鈥渁 whirlwind of amazing creative adventures鈥
Charlotte Cropper lives-and-breaths the television, comedy and media industries. Fresh from winning the Dean鈥檚 Award at the Create Student Awards 2021, on account of her outstanding levels of devotion and commitment, she will graduate from her BA (Hons) Media and Performance course with a plethora of experience and accolades under her belt, including a stint at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Charlotte is primed for a bright future in comedy writing and performance. She was shortlisted as a finalist in the 2020-21 Chortle Student Comedy Awards, led by one of the largest comedy websites in the UK. She has written, produced and performed in the 海角乱伦 Comedy Society Radio Show, pitched her work to BBC Three, and her one-woman sketch show was streamed as part of Funny Women鈥檚 International Women鈥檚 Day event.
In her first year she went to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as part of Salfunni, a group of aspiring and talented comedians from the 海角乱伦. The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity meant she was able to showcase her set over two weeks to a room full of comedy lovers.
鈥淢y time at the 海角乱伦 has been a whirlwind of amazing creative adventures and I have truly loved every moment of my studies. I am so grateful to the Arts, Media and Creative Technology staff for continually supporting me and encouraging my industry engagements and performance projects. Thanks to their guidance over the past three years, I have been able to hone my artistry, collaborate with some incredible students and alumni and discover my true passions in TV, writing and comedy,鈥 said Charlotte.
Charlotte is fresh from performing at last week鈥檚 Bruntwood Stage Takeover at Manchester鈥檚 Homeground. Not only did she hit the stage, the talented young comedian also worked behind-the-scenes throughout the five-day takeover as a Production Assistant, looking after artists on-site, as well as creating content for the New Adelphi Theatre and HOME's Instagram to highlight each night of great entertainment.
