The support we have received from local businesses over the years makes us feel lovely and warm inside here at Funny Women. One very special thank you must be made to Roseberg Flowers who have provided beautiful flowers for our acts over the years at our Awards Finals, Charity shows and Challenge events.

We’re always excited to receive a Roseberg delivery before a show and watch as the room is magically transformed to something not dissimilar to Kew Gardens!

Their magnificent bouquets were recently awarded to our brave 10th Anniversary Challengers and our fabulous host Kate Garraway at the Funny Women 10th Anniversary Challenge in March. Here are some photos of the night with all the flowers provided by our friends at Roseberg Flowers.

At the top is our fantastic 10th Anniversary Challenge Winner Rowan Pelling. Rowan writes a weekly comment column for the Daily Telegraph and is the Daily Mail's sex columnist, has been a Man Booker Prize judge, is a patron of the Cambridge Wordfest, and is the editor of The Decadent Handbook. You can watch Rowan's award winning performance HERE.

Below is Katya Roseberg who is the brains behind the flowers, quite literally.  If you'd like her to quote for your event please say Funny Women sent you.
