The Cheek of It! Team

Zoe Charles
Founder of The Cheek of It! Zoe is also a performer, devisor, director and teacher with over 8 years of professional experience. She is co-founder of live art theatre company Charles & Cook and one third of burlesque troupe Scarletine Delight. Zoe based this company on three words: fun, inspiration and empowerment, and these are the words that excite her about every event. Known on the day as Principal Crumpet, Zoe says: “I am tickled pink by the opportunity to create something different for every client. Finding out what gets that person excited and inspiring a team of people to dedicating themselves to making that wish come true.”
