The Funny Women team have been at the Fringe for just over a week now and we are having a brilliant time! As well as showcasing the brightest talent in female comedy in our own shows, we are also in a position to experience going to see other fantastic, varied shows that the Fringe has to offer! 

The line-up that we have in store for today is set to frame a terrific show. Remember this is a fantastic opportunity to see five or six acts in one show which will help you to decide which of their shows you want to go on and see!

All the acts today have their own shows up here at the Fringe. Hosting today will be 2008's Funny Women Awards Winner Katherine Ryan, and features  Lucy Beaumont, Kerry Gilbert and Madeleine Culp.

Headlining today will be the fantastic Mae Martin, whose show has just been reviewed by our very own Hannah Moulder. READ HERE.

The sun is still shining in Edinburgh, so make the most of it if you are here and help us celebrate ten years of the best in female comedy! Please plan ahead and BOOK TICKETS.  

Also look out for special offers and ticket promotions.  We've got a 2 for 1 deal for tomorrow's show, so check out who's on the bill HERE.
