This event has passed.

Patreon members can join us for our monthly networking event, 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.

JOIN OUR NEW WRITER’S CIRCLE!

Writing comedy can feel as daunting as performing it. That’s why we’ve launched a brand new format exclusively for our Patreon members: Writer’s Circle.

Building on the success of our monthly Open House series, we’ve tested out a new format to bring comedy creators of all kinds together to support each other.

Everyone 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.

No 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!

All 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.

Patreon Open House events happen on the first Monday of the month. We host fun and interactive Zoom sessions, sometimes featuring guest speakers and Q&A sessions.

Don’t miss this chance to build new connections, discover new talent, and share your own comedic insights and experiences.

Patreon Members can find their access codes for these special events in the Patreon Feed: www.patreon.com/funnywomen.
