The Gerety Awards has confirmed the return of its partnership with Funny Women for the 2026 Humour Cut jury for the second year running.
No fooling! Wednesday 1st April is the first ever Live Comedy Day and we have curated a bumper all female line up to celebrate in style at London’s most iconic live comedy venue, with Funny Women Live at The Comedy Store!
A revolutionary new UK comedy consultancy, REPPD, has been launched by former Funny Women Senior Producer, Kate Lennon with the aim of providing agent-level support to unrepresented comedy talent.
Relay is a punk-musical one-woman show about love, family and chaos. It starts with a very unusual question: how do you make a baby with your partner, your best friend as sperm donor, and his boyfriend cheering from the side-lines?
