While Funny Women continues to provide a unique platform for women to extend their comedic and creative boundaries, we also aim to raise awareness and funds for a variety of causes that directly affect women.

 

Funny Women likes to work with organisations that represent all aspects of women’s wellbeing – laughing about life to help and heal women - and empowering them to make a difference - helping women find their voice.
