George Coppen is a Derby-based actor and comedian whose stand-up and storytelling draw on life with dwarfism, sharp observational wit, and a fearless sense of fun. He’s appeared at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Nottingham Comedy Festival, Leicester Comedy Festival, Buxton Festival Fringe and Ram Comedy Festival, building a reputation for playful, candid sets that mix industry insights with everyday absurdities.

George’s Fringe work includes his debut run of ‘Coppen Through Life’ and his 2025 show ‘Under the BoardDwarf’ with PBH’s Free Fringe, bringing a warm, mischievous voice to topics from casting and representation to the odd places comedy takes you.

Beyond stand-up, George’s screen credits include Netflix’s ‘The School for Good and Evil’ (as Sweet Cupid), plus roles and appearances across film and TV — work that sits alongside his live comedy, panto performances, and festival slots across the UK.

Recent and notable appearances include Nottingham, Belper, Sheffield, and Derby dates, with George regularly popping up on mixed bills and grassroots nights — exactly the kind of act who lifts a lineup with energy, honesty, and surprising left turns.
