This show is a powerhouse collaboration between Funny Women and Women Aren’t Funny, bringing together some of the best names in comedy for a special International Women’s Day celebration.

Five incredible acts take to the stage at The Phoenix, 37 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0PP.

Hosted by Jen Nolan with Su Mi, Alex Franklin, Kelly Ford, Sharifa Butterfly and headliner Kate Cheka.

This show is 100% not for profit and we’re jointly raising money to support The Glitter Project, our incredible community initiative empowering female-identifying performers, writer and creators to explore comedy.

Our programme encourages participants to take their first steps into stand up, script writing or to simply build their confidence and resilience to experiment with comedy in a supportive, heckle-free space. Try out material, get feedback, and receive mentoring from some incredible women who’ve already benefited from a bit of our trademark Funny Women ‘glitter’.
