Womens Comedy Festival

The first ever UK Women in Comedy Festival will be held this October 2013, a cross-collaboration between the growing number of women’s comedy producers, performers and supporters, celebrating all things funny and female. 

With strong statement and a mixture of promotional, development and showcase events, the festival will be an opportunity for female comics across the UK to meet, perform, debate, discuss and get feedback from industry insiders and professionals, all aiming to promoting the best of British female comedy far and wide, aiming put an end to circular conversations and blowing certain myths out of the water.

The festival will be centred in Greater Manchester and has scheduled events in and around the North West of England. Acts already confirmed to take part include Zoe Lyons, Susan Murray, Hayley Ellis, Ava Vidal, Jen Brister, Angie McEvoy, Maureen Younger and much more to be confirmed.

Spearheaded by Hazel O’Keefe of Laughing Cows Comedy, this festival is a truly collaborative venture, and the organisers would love to hear from you if you have ideas for panels, showcases, skills development – whatever you feel! The festival will be a reflection of what women in comedy want to showcase and discuss, have a look at the events booked in already here and get in touch with the team by emailing info@womenincomedy.co.uk or find out more about how to get involved here.
