Charlotte was born in Stockholm, Sweden. Sadly her family moved and she was raised in Surrey, England. Due to a distinct lack of nutritious Swedish herrings she failed to turn into a six foot blonde stunner. ('Fascinating watch' - Edinburgh Evening News)
Charlotte spent her school days being a bit of an idiot but luckily she realized she might have a future being an idiot for money. ('Genuinely funny and superbly silly' - The List)
So off she went to Middlesex Uni and studied Performance Arts. Realising she actually was quite funny (as much as someone born in Sweden can be) she went on to refine this and studied clowning with John Wright, Philippe Gaulier and David Shiner (all required therapy after). ('Charlotte Palmer provides out and out stupidity' - Chortle)
Whilst still very green, not literally, Charlotte entered the world of Street Theatre. Touring the world in a double act she learnt how to handle audiences, extreme weather conditions and how to balance on her partners shoulders without crying, well, apart from two terrible weeks in Tenerife where she cried every day. So she became an actress where she gets paid for crying...sometimes.('Highly talented' - The Scotsman)
Since winning a fancy dress competition back in her school days dressed as a nun Charlotte has hankered after the habit ever since. On hearing about this, and having acted with her in Spaced, Ricky Gervais cast her as a nun and love interest in Extras. "Well it makes a change from playing a prostitute all the time" commented her Mum (The Bill and My Family). ('Subtle, engaging actor' - Chortle)
Changing the subject very briefly, Charlotte would just like to extol the virtues of well known director, Dewi Humphries, who in her opinion is one of the finest directors of his generation. He is creative, innovative and intelligent enough to have cast charlotte five times. (Vicar of Dibley, Harry Enfield Show, Ab Fab, My Family x 2).
In 2004 she co-formed Improper, a comedy impro group who improvised...you know...improvisation...make it up as you go along...no script...audience suggests things and they make up skits...? It was a great success, the most notable being for an orthordox Jewish youth group where they performed in total darkness as it was the Sabbath and they werent allowed to switch on the lights. Since then Charlotte has improvised her way through two feature films (what do you do when the script writer goes AWOL!) ('A gifted performer, sparkled and showed skill' - Daily Express)
Throughout the years Charlotte has been writing and performing her own stuff, in collaboration with others who she doesn't care to mention. The following is a list of the ones she's most proud of:
1. 'On The Trail of Beachcomber' Lots of silly sketches. Edinburgh
Fest. '96 (5* - Daily Express)
2.'Tripterranus' - a fast moving comedy set in the back of a truck.
Edin.Fest.'97 (4* - The Scotsman)
3.'Ladies in Waiting-Brownie Re-Union' More silly sketches. Edin.Fest.
'08 (4* & Pick of The Fringe - The List) ('subtle, engaging actor' - Chortle)
4. Two brilliant sitcoms “ one set on a train called 'Briefcase Encounter' and the other sees two Thelma and Louise types go on a gap year...around the UK!
Well that's enough of Charlotte blowing her own trumpet (actually she plays the flute in a professional flute & strings quartet).It just remains for her to tell you that she is currently performing in the new comedy duo Palmer and Cock which recently went down a storm at the Cockpit Theatre!
