We're already open for business and keen to get those entries in and make this year a record breaker. We welcome all levels of performance and the only criteria is that you are a 'new act' and we qualify this by giving you a five year break. During seven years of running the Funny Women Awards we recognise that some of you take a break from performing to have families, study or travel, so we've acknowledged this by increasing the time criteria from three to five years.
Our competition has a reputation for being one of the friendliest and most supportive of all the talent contests. We aim to see every entrant at a live showcase, or heat, on the basis that it gives you a gig and chance to perform. Even if you don't feel quite ready, give it a go just to kick start your performing career and gain a bit of stage time.
The winner of last year’s Funny Women Awards was Miss London, real name Dionne Hughes, a 20 year old student from London.
