Pip Utton is a British actor and playwright known for a number of plays, including the award-winning Adolf, Chaplin and Only the Lonely. As one of the leading solo performers of United Kingdom,[1] most of his plays are monodramas, performable by a single actor. Utton won the top award at the 2006 THESPIS 5th International Monodrama Festival performing Bacon written by Pip Utton and Jeremy Towler.

Pip Utton is based at the Merlin Theatre in Frome, Somerset.[2] He is a regular performer at the Edinburgh Fringe and tours internationally, in part supported by the British Council.[3]

Many of his plays evoke a strong audience reaction: Adolf has had members of the audience leaving before the end of the performance and violence directed towards Utton;[4] some have felt physically sick during his performance of Labels, (Utton's adaptation of the Louis de Bernières' short story of the same name).

Pip was recently elected as Vice Chair of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival board.
