Charlotte Gittins
Charlotte Gittins is an actor, documentary-maker and BAFTA Rocliffe-winning writer. A seasoned improviser and graduate of the Central School of Speech & Drama, she is half of critically acclaimed double act Folie à Deux, and one-third of both Grand Theft Impro and three-woman impro company JCB.
In recent months, Charlotte has appeared at major festivals across Europe and the Antipodes, performed her début solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe, and acted by candlelight in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare’s Globe.
As one of the core cast of London’s annual Improvathon, she has survived numerous 50-hour shows. Less sleep-deprived performances include guest appearances in Norway’s Almost Ibsen: An Improvised Tragedy, Suki Webster’s Guest Speaker, Literary Death Match, This Is Your Trial, Monkey Toast: The Improvised Chat Show, Marcus Brigstocke’s Unavailable For Comment and Ross Noble’s Evening of Improvisation with Special Guests.
An inveterate accent chameleon, Charlotte has lent her voice to the likes of BBC Four and the V&A’s Museum of Childhood. She has also acted on BBC Two and Three, featured in a number of short films and plays, and, when nobody’s looking, has been known to sneak surreptitiously behind-the-scenes to make BBC arts, music and history films.
