Craig Manson is a Glasgow-based artist who creates satirical and joyous performances across theatre, live art, dance and cabaret.

Unafraid of embracing the provocative, the surreal and the silly, Craig’s vision is rooted in a desire to unite audiences through exhilarating theatre experiences. His cheeky performance style, often combined with satirical narratives and urgent political questions, aims to leave people feeling inspired and empowered.

Collaboration is a key component of Craig’s practice and he regularly works with other artists to create their own work. He is a trained actor and performer who specialises in the generation and development of interdisciplinary performance, new writing and comedy, aiming to encourage and uplift other artists to get their shows on the stages it deserves to be on.

Craig trained in performance making at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and his work has been presented at The Southbank Centre, Tramway, Dance International Glasgow, Made in Scotland, Actoral and Buzzcut. He was nominated for The Melbourne Fringe Onward Touring Award at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe and was a recipient of The Dewar Award in 2019.
