Helen Arney’s Christmas Charity Challenge

3rd February 2010

Helen Arney, Funny Women semi-finalist 2008, kept herself very busy over Christmas. Rather than just stuff herself with turkey, chocolates and Baileys over the festive period Christmas (actually I dunno, maybe she found time for all that as well!) she recorded a song on her ukulele for every single 31 days of Christmas, in aid of the homeless charity Shelter.

Helen’s musical and comedic talents are attracting a lot of attention and although these songs won’t be performed live, (as yet) they’re consigned to posterity on good old You Tube. Please check them out below.

Susan Calman, Funny Women Finalist (2006), is set to appear in the ninth series of the classic comedy show ‘Rab C. Nesbitt’. Starring Gregor Fisher as the Scottish alcoholic layabout, the programme cemented the string vest as a symbol of the ‘opt-out’ lifestyle Rab advocated. The show originally ran from the late ’80s for a decade and has just returned to the BBC’s screens.

Susan can also be found sitting in for Fred MacAulay on BBC Radio Scotland on the 3rd, 8th-12th and 15-18th February. She’s also appearing at Soho Theatre from the 5th-6th March.

Back in 2004 Zoe Lyons won the Funny Women Awards, which was uncannily predicted by Lynne Parker the second she handed the budding comic a flyer with information about entering the awards.
Since then, Lyons has received critical acclaim, gigging in clubs and festivals around the country, and cracked ‘the funniest joke’ at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2008. She is now embarking on her first international tour, with her sell-out show, ‘Miss Machismo’, in less than a month. The tour starts at the Leicester Comedy Festival on 20th February and will be part of the New Zealand Comedy Festival.

See her website for more dates and details.
