You've got so many killer lines that I want on a t-shirt and a piece of driftwood in my flat. Winning this competition really is only the beginning for you..."

*Since March 23rd and official UK lockdown all live events have been cancelled or postponed due to Coronavirus. There are some amazing comedian’s delivering online content during this time, I’d highly recommend Kiri Pritchard-Mclean’s Comedy at the Covid Arms which raises funds for the brilliant Trussell Trust here: http://www.comedyatthecovid.co.uk/ & Stewart Goldsmith’s Infinite Sofa here: https://www.comedianscomedian.com/sofa/ As a new comedian still learning the ropes (and possessing a very small ugly rented room with no suitable drapes) I will be working mainly on writing and retaining my sense of humour for post-lockdown life. (and doing the odd online gig, internet permitting!) If you feel you want to, you can donate to my Ko-Fi page here : https://ko-fi.com/charliegeorge Stay well & hope to see you on the other side. Big Love. xCG

This accounts for the fact that from her eyebrows to her mouth she has complete control over her body movements and uses them to full comic effect. She's just fun to watch! With dark, brilliantly-timed humour."
