Charlotte Cropper is an award-winning comedian, poet and writer based in Manchester. Her anecdotal and conversational style, laced with wit and whimsy, makes her a “viscerally relatable” (The Meteor) new voice on the UK scene. She is the creator of Slumber Party, a two-time Chortle award-winning comedy show inspired by 2000s sleepovers (minus the trauma).
Charlotte has previously been shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Award 2025, a Finalist for BBC Words First and Chortle Student Comedy Award, and a Semi-Finalist for Funny Women Stage Award 2025.
"playful charm with razor wit" (Manchester Punk Festival) “rising star” (A Lovely Time). "she is always such a delight to watch with THE BEST energy." (Toby Hadoke, XS Malarkey). “a bouncy and friendly stage presence that makes you feel like her bestie” (Blizzard Comedy). "they’ve got passion, they’ve got talent and they’ll make a name for themselves one day soon" (Nick Helm).
