SUMMARY:The Glitter Project - Showcase at the Fringe
DESCRIPTION:This is an exciting showcase offering a platform to female and non-binary performers who don’t have Edinburgh shows but want the experience of performing at the Fringe\, whether it’s their first time on stage or they are a more established act looking for a safe place to try out new material. Our line-ups include comedians from a range of countries\, skill levels and comedy styles – so you never know what to expect! Our hosts will be part of The Glitter Project mentoring team\, who will also be available to give advice both to performers and even audience members around their comedy aspirations. \nReady to take the stage?

We then shared in the Jones Bootmaker (ISH) Edinburgh Comedy Awards Panel Prize in recognition of our work. \nFunny Women was founded in 2002 by Lynne Parker\, based in the UK. It is at the forefront of nurturing and promoting female comedy talent – from finding and developing new acts through to the Funny Women Awards. We are committed to promoting gender equality in comedy and empowering women to pursue comedic dreams. Our gigs are warm\, supportive and hilarious\, and by attending our event you become part of a movement that aims to break down barriers and redefine the comedy landscape. We’ve created the Glitter Project to encourage those who’ve already established a glittering comedy career or have an interest in exploring humour and entertainment to share and explore creative possibilities. After all\, everybody deserves a ‘bit of glitter’ in their lives. Come and find out for yourself! \nOUR INSPIRATION\nJo Fletcher-Cross was one of Funny Women’s non-executive directors and a comedian\, who was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma brain tumour in summer 2022 on the eve of her first full run at the Edinburgh Fringe. Her diagnosis became the catalyst for The Glitter Project\, an initiative born from her desire to make the daunting world of comedy ‘A Safe Place” for others. \nShe was a woman who lived her life by the philosophy that “everybody deserves a bit of glitter\,” and leaves behind a legacy that has helped us to continue our work to change the landscape for women in comedy. \n

SUMMARY:FUNNY WOMEN OPEN HOUSE - WRITERS' CIRCLE
DESCRIPTION:JOIN OUR WRITERS’ CIRCLE! \nPatreon members can join us for our exclusive monthly networking events\, Funny Women Open House! Whether you’re a seasoned comedian or just starting out\, this is the perfect opportunity to connect with other funny women and grow your network. \nWriting comedy can feel as daunting as performing it. That’s why we created this format exclusively for our Patreon members: Writer’s Circle\, bringing comedy creators of all kinds together to support each other. \nEveryone is invited to share a sample of their writing for thoughts\, reflections and feedback from the group. We will give you an opportunity to share ideas on stand up\, a script treatment or comedy dialogue. \nNo pressure for you to share your own writing\, you could bring a piece of someone else’s that inspires you – as long as you credit them and tell us why you like it! \nAll formats of comedy writing are welcome – it could be stand up\, TV\, short film\, poetry – anything you’d like to test out and share with a friendly group. \n\n\n\nPatreon Open House events happen on the first Monday of the month\, or nearest taking into account bank holidays. We host fun and interactive Zoom sessions\, sometimes featuring guest speakers and Q&A sessions. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this chance to build new connections\, discover new talent\, and share your own comedic insights and experiences. \n\n\n\nPatreon Members can find their access codes for these special events in the Patreon Feed.
