SUMMARY:STAND UP TO STAND OUT WINTER WARM UP
DESCRIPTION:Become a Funny Women Patreon member now at the ‘Amusing’ level or above and take part in this workshop for half-price!! \nIt’s midwinter and the days are short\, so ideal for a comedy ‘warm up’ and an opportunity to commune with your funny bones. Spend an action-packed day with us and unleash your inner stand up diva\, explore ideas for an award-winning sitcom or simply enjoy the ride with some like-minded women. \nWe’ve combined elements of our popular Stand Up to Stand Out workshop and the Comedy Crash Course to create a one-day event designed to take you on a comedy journey without it being scary! During the Winter Warm Up you will be introduced to some well know techniques to help you perform\, write or create comedy or inject some humour into your everyday interactions\, at work or play. \n\nNeed a confidence boost?\n\n\nWant to write new comedy material and develop your performance style?\n\n\nPerforming stand up comedy\, presenting online or speaking in public for the first time?\n\n\nNervous about using humour?\n\n\nWant to make new friends and influence people?!\n\n  \n \nLed by Funny Women founder Lynne Parker (pictured above) with some additional guidance from guest experts (soon to be announced!)\, the day will culminate in a showcase for you to show off what you’ve created. \nLynne Parker\, the founder of Funny Women\, has been running her comedy workshops since 2009 and has witnessed the genesis of many comedy careers through the Funny Women Awards and our programme of community events. Her initiative and guidance has enabled hundreds of women to gain the confidence to perform on stage and in the boardroom. Now that ‘performances’ have expanded to both in person and online environments\, communication and presentation skills are a top priority. \nThis workshop covers: \n\nBuilding the confidence to perform\nDeveloping your personal style or ‘persona’\nIntroducing techniques to create new material\nAdvice on how to ‘up your game’\n\n  \nWhat’s included? \nThe Groucho Club is the perfect winter hide away for this event.

Common food intolerances and preferences are taken into account. \nThis event is half price for Funny Women Patreon Members at the Annual ‘Amusing’ level or above. \nThis event and all Comedy Crash Courses plus additional Stand Up to Stand Out workshops are included as part of The Glitter Challenge from the point of sign up until the final show at either The Comedy Store London (April 2027) or Edinburgh Fringe Festival (August 2027). Please email info@funnywomen.com for more details about taking part. \nTestimonials: \n‘I recently took part in Stand Up to Stand Out. As a woman who has fought her way through business for many years now\, determined in my mission to be ‘me’ – I really enjoyed Lynne’s approach. Being yourself\, being ready to tell stories\, laugh\, amuse yourselves and each other – surely that’s all part of life?’ \n‘Too often we are restricted by the expectations of others\, especially as a woman in business. This session was expertly led by Lynne\, who made everyone feel welcome\, but also emboldened. Within no time\, absolute strangers were giggling hysterically and cheering each other on.’ \n‘I recently attended the Stand Up to Stand Out Workshop at the Groucho Club. It really pushed me out of my comfort zone but I felt supported by Lynne in this. I will be able to use what I learnt about the power of humour and my increased confidence in storytelling to deliver more compelling client presentations and\, who knows\, maybe even try stand up!’ \n‘Lynne is the most knowledgeable person I have met during my comedy career and I would recommend her to anyone/if not everyone; whether you’re starting out in comedy or you would like to be better at public speaking/improving your confidence – Lynne is the person to work with – she is hilarious\, empowering and incredibly kind.’ \n‘I had a wonderful time on the Stand Up to Stand Out workshop. Lynne coached us with skill and humanity\, creating a community from a group of strangers. And we were all really funny! To any woman thinking of going on the course\, I’d say it’s one of the best investments you can make in yourself.’
