Chipepo Bernard is a Zambian actor, theatre practitioner, producer, and creative entrepreneur whose journey in performance began in the church before expanding into school and professional theatre.
During his secondary school years, he developed his passion for acting through productions such as The Blind Can See by John Ntulisha, The Prodigal Daughter, and The Wedding Ring. These early experiences laid the foundation for a career dedicated to storytelling and performance.
In 2009, Chipepo entered professional theatre as an understudy in A Husband for Breakfast with Chingola Arts Society. His commitment to the craft quickly earned recognition, and in 2012 he received the Banam's Award for Best Cameo Performance. During this period, he also appeared in productions including The Prodigal Daughter and Taste of the Forbidden Fruit.
In 2013, Chipepo relocated to Lusaka and joined NAPSA Theatre Club, where he made his debut in the production Hunter of God, playing the lead role of Kamuno. Since then, he has performed in numerous acclaimed productions including Bad Timing, Tantrums, Tears at the Palace, Brother Handiya's PhD, My Dearest Momo, and Uncle James, among others.
His performance in Tantrums saw him participate in productions staged both in Lusaka and at the Livingstone Defence Festival. Throughout his career, Chipepo has remained committed to theatre as a platform for social engagement, cultural expression, and artistic excellence.
