Funny Women is celebrating 10 years of bringing new women onto the comedy scene through the Funny Women Awards. As well as the competition, we have found even more ways to help women find their voice. We hold monthly showcases at Leicester Square Theatre in London, and at Komedia in Brighton, and run regular Stand Up to Stand Out comedy workshops to mentor aspiring comedians and introduce women to the concept of using humour in business, networking, and their everyday life.
As we go into our 10th year, we look foward to discovering even more fantastic new talent through the Awards, showcases, workshops and our business events.
