SUMMARY:Funny Women Amsterdam | Nadine Froughi - Daydreamer
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Volta as Nadine Froughi\, two-time Funny Women semi-finalist\, presents her debut solo hour! Nadine returns to the stage where she performed her first 5 minutes in 2022. Expect a multimedia musical-comedy romp filled with PowerPoint\, feminine rage\, and catchy songs. This high-energy show is for the daydreamers and situationship survivors.  \n  \n\n\n\n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nStand-up comedian Nadine Froughi is performing her debut solo hour for the first time\, after doing her first-ever 5 minutes with That Comedy Thing in 2022.  \n\n\n\n🎤 Stand-up comedy special in English \n🕰️ This is the 18.00 show\, for the 20.30 show \n⏳ Seating is limited\, book your tickets in advance before they sell out \n📍At Volta in Amsterdam West (near Haarlemmerplein and Westerpark) \n  \n–About this show– \nNadine Froughi is a Daydreamer. \nIn this\, her debut comedy hour\, she’ll take you on a multimedia musical-comedy romp through the no-man’s land between real life and her daydreams. \nQuestions like\, “Where is she really from?” “Who’s the world’s most famous frog?” and “Did this bit really need a PowerPoint presentation?” will be asked and answered in an hour of comedy that’s high-energy\, relatable and ever so slightly sincere. \nExpect songs about things that probably don’t need them\, a splash of cultural confusion\, a healthy dose of feminine rage and potentially a little too much insight into why this woman is Still Single™. \nThis show is for situationship survivors\, PowerPoint aficionados\, karaoke overachievers\, and anyone who’s ever wondered if the grass was greener on the other side. \nNB: She’ll be performing the majority of this show in her regular accent. \nOpening act: James Vaughan. South African-born comedian James is a rapidly rising star in the comedy scene. Starting out less than a year ago\, he is already a frequently seen face in comedy clubs like Club Haug\, Boom Chicago and Comedy Cafe. In January 2025\, he reached the final of the Tuna Comedy Contest\, making him one of the ten best new comics to emerge from the comedy scene in the Netherlands. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nAbout Funny Women Amsterdam\nSince 2019\, Funny Women Amsterdam has been a home for diverse and dynamic voices in comedy.

SUMMARY:HOW TO HAVE FUN AT WORK - MEDWAY
DESCRIPTION:LOCATION: Olivers\, 186 High St\, Rochester ME1 1EY \nPart of our Comedy in the Community programme in Medway. \nHaving fun at work and embracing humour in the workplace has never been more important. In these challenging times for business\, the value of a ‘good laugh’ should never be underestimated\, particularly within our communities. We are celebrating the joy (yes\, really!) of work in partnership with Medway Council and the Federation of Small Businesses in the only way we know how – by encouraging a few laughs and expanding our creative boundaries with humour. \nFunny Women has been empowering women in the comedy industry for over 20 years and in response to the demand for our programmes in the workplace we run our HERlarious programme to encourage professional women to have their voice and invite the support of their male allies. \nWe learn and bond through the collective power of humour and we retain a lot more information and build relationships with the people we work with by having a few laughs. \nOur very special free event is aimed at exactly that as part of our Comedy in the Community programme here in Medway. It features workshops\, panel discussion\, essential networking and live comedy (of course!)\, and we will show you how to express your ideas more confidently and freely using some of the tried and tested tricks of the comedy trade. \nWe have carefully curated a programme to boost your confidence to take on a leadership within your community\, to apply for a job you’ve always wanted or to say what you think in a meeting. \nGet valuable advice on how to work\, play and perform your ‘roles’ in business\, embrace creative thinking and improve your mental health and wellbeing. We will introduce you to techniques to communicate more effectively\, interpret body language\, tell a story and develop a strong personal narrative with humour. \nEveryone is encouraged to attend\, regardless of gender. \nTake part in a lively round of quickfire workshops facilitated by amazing local business leaders. There will be three topics to choose from. \nFollowed by an interactive panel featuring local leaders\, lunch and live comedy. Coffee\, tea and pastries will be served upon arrival. \nFor details about the workshops\, facilitators\, panellists\, performers and more please read the article HERE. \nThe Schedule \n\n\n\n9.00am\nRegistration\, networking and introduction; tea and coffee\n\n\n9.30am\nWorkshops Round 1\n\n\n10.30am\nWorkshops Round 2\n\n\n12.00pm\nPanel discussion\n\n\n1.00pm\nLunch & Live Comedy\n\n\n2.00pm\nEvent ends\n\n\n\nYOU CAN ALSO TAKE PART IN OUR PODCAST \nWe are delighted to welcome back our video and podcast partners Rachael Bryant and Ben Bryant of Your Video Team.
