ABOUT CORAL
Coral Bevan is an award-winning, London-based actor, comedic clown, singer, writer, and filmmaker, known for her bold, heart-driven performances infused with absurdity. Her work spans character comedy, theatre, film, and music; showcasing her diverse talents across multiple disciplines.
​
Bevan’s journey in performance is rooted in world-class training. She honed her craft at the prestigious École Philippe Gaulier in Paris, the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London, and The Groundlings in Los Angeles. This foundation has enriched her skills in physical comedy and character work, both on stage and on screen.
Her critically acclaimed solo show, ‘Fisherman Jon: What’s on the End of My Rod?’, has been a runaway success, garnering five-star reviews and sold-out performances in 2023-2025. It debuted triumphantly at the Soho Theatre on Dean Street and was praised for its unique blend of heartfelt storytelling and surreal humour. Fisherman Jon earned acclaim as a finalist in Man-up, Europe’s largest drag king competition and in 2025 it was up at Edinburgh Fringe hosted by Underbelly. Bevan was honoured with the Keep it Fringe Award, made possible by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag).
​
Bevan’s film and writing work has earned her the Fulwell 73/Comedy 50:50 Award for Best Short and finalist spots in Funny Women and the British Comedy Guide’s Talent Awards. Her short films have won Best UK Short at the Raindance Film Festival and Best Dark Comedy at the New York International Film Awards. They have also been selected for the Cannes World Film Festival and Munich Film Festival.
Her acting career includes being headhunted alongside The People Pile as commedia dell’arte performers in the ‘Survivors Ball’ segment of Napoleon, directed by the legendary Ridley Scott. She is also a veteran at Secret Cinema and has performed in many of their shows.
As co-founder of Asparagus Mousse Productions, Bevan, Hunt & Alwyn have spearheaded a wide range of projects, including Bevan’s solo shows, the riotous Christmas production ‘Moulin Scrouge’ and 'Tight Arse', the comedy music gig ‘Wayne Wayneson and the Whisky Kissers’, and two upcoming film projects - a comedy-horror and a mockumentary - both currently in production and set to debut on the festival circuit in 2026.
​
Bevan also works as a Clown Consultant and Development Consultant alongside comedy partners Ricky Hunt and David Alwyn, lending their expertise to theatrical productions such as Garsington Opera’s Ariadne auf Naxos and immersive experiences like Secret Cinema.​
​
Bevan’s creative talents extend to music under her alias Coral May and Wayne Wayneson composing original soundtracks for films, performing live comedy music gigs and contributing writing credits to Neon Gru, fronted by Ny Oh, the acclaimed musician and member of Harry Styles’ band.
​
Finally, Bevan is a proud troupe member of Gutter – A Bouffon Comedy Ritual and the Bouffon Festival - the first of its kind worldwide (as far as they know) - a grotesque cabaret evening and festival showcasing the grotesqe and the ugly. It has already welcomed performers such as Red Bastard, Natalie Palamides, Lachlan Werner, Luke Rollason, and many more.
