“Benefit has loved working with Funny Women to help empower women in comedy.
It’s been fantastic to help elevate the careers of so many talented funny women in stand up, writing and short film through our sponsorship of the Funny Women Awards.”
“The contribution Funny Women makes to the comedy industry is certainly a really important one and it was fantastic to see so many talented new female stand ups have the opportunity to perform in front of not only a number of comedy opinion formers but also a very receptive and supportive audience.”
Let’s put humour to work. Our sister brand, HERlarious, runs corporate workshops, coaching, special events and creative solutions to bring comedy into your workplace.
