Not before time, here is the 'official' virtual welcome to Hannah Isherwood who has taken over programming London Nights at our regular London venue, the Leicester Square Theatre, and will continue her inspired programming into 2012. Our first two shows under her direction were fantastic and we look forward to more!

As our programme of activity grows with the development of this website with regular nights in London, Brighton and beyond plus the Funny Women Challenge events, it's important to have Hannahon board to best continue showcasing the best in female comedy and provide a much needed platform for new talent in the capital.  

Hannah is a talented comedy writer and actor in her own right who has performed all over the country. She has previously produced comedy nights including 'Interestment Presents…Get Up Stand Up' with fellow comic Kishore Nayar, and is delighted to be running London Nights for Funny Women.

If you want to perform at Leicester Square Theatre in 2012, please email hannah@funnywomen.com and check out the dates HERE.
