The actress and YouTuber won the award for her performance as Veronica Sawyer in Heathers: The Musical.
Accepting her award at the ceremony, which celebrates UK theatre, Carrie said: “Well f**k me gently with a chainsaw…
“Thank you to the fans of Heathers… I wasn’t the Veronica people expected but thank you for giving me the chance to wear the blue blazer.”
