ABOUT CORAL
Coral Bevan is a critically acclaimed London based actor, comedic clown and filmmaker who specialises in character comedy that has heart and that also oozes with absurdity.
She studied at the famous ‘Gaulier Clown School’ in Paris, ‘Royal Central School of Speech and Drama’ in London and also ‘The Groundlings’ in LA.
Her sold out, five star solo show; ‘Fisherman Jon: What’s on the end of my rod?’ finished a short run in 2023 and is currently in the process of being transferred to Soho Theatre, Dean Street. Her other solo show ‘Wayne Wayneson’s Rock Hard’ is soon to have its London preview in March 2024.
Bevan’s work previously has won the Fulwell 73/Comedy 50:50 award for Best Short 2021, was the finalist for Funny Women 2021, a finalist for British Comedy Guides “Talent award”, her work was screened at The Munich Film Festival 2021 and was selected as ‘Best UK Short’ at Raindance Film Festival. Her male comedy character FIsherman Jon, was also a finalist for “Man-up” in 2021 (The biggest drag king competition in the UK and Europe).
In her acting world last year she and a company she works with (The People Pile) were headhunted to be commedia dell-arte performers in the ‘Survivors Ball’ in “Napoleon” the new Ridley Scott film.
She is the co-founder of Asparagus Mousse Productions which has produced two short films so far, both of which are in various stages of development. ‘The Covening’ is in Post-Production and “Not Microwave Safe' is in Pre-production. Both films are comedy horrors and will be on the Film Festival circuit in 2025.
Another recent development in her career was being a “Clown Consultant” with comedy partner Ricky Hunt, on Garsington Opera’s ‘Ariadne Auf Naxos’ in 2023. With this they are beginning to work closely with Opera productions worldwide.
She also co-wrote and co-directed the new naughty and rambunctious festive show “Moulin Scrouge” - which saw a sold out performance December 2022. It will be returning bigger and better December 2024, with some exciting things in the pipeline. "A story about a time, a story about a place, but above all things, it’s a story about a tight arse."
​
Not only this but Bevan also has a small music career where she writes and records music for films. Her alias is Coral May. She also has writing credits with Neon Gru - their lead singer is musician Ny Oh, who became famous after being part of the Harry Styles band.
