On the first day of Christmas my Best Friend gave to me, a stocking full of Funny Women treats…

It's first day of December, and the official countdown to Christmas has begun (as introduced by the inaugural chocolate brands of our forefathers in eighteen-sixty-whatever). To celebrate, we're giving our next new BFF a Christmas stocking chock full of Funny Women pressies.

Haven't heard of the Funny Women BFFs yet? Our BFF (best friends forever) scheme is an opportunity for you to support us, and to receive loads of Funny perks in return. For just £100, you can cement our friendship for life, and you'll get an invitation to our BFF exclusive launch party in Spring 2014 with very special guests. Our BFFs will also get a Funny Women BFF card for deals, priority booking and seating on all of our big events. BFFs will receive an exclusive newsletter, available only to those brandishing our friendship, and all of this will continue for life. Plus a very special one-time, one-off, never-to-be-repeated offer – recoup your £100 with a whopping £100 discount off of our next Funny Women Workshop Weekend in February 2014. Usually priced at £250, you can join us at the exclusive Union Club in Soho for a weekend of laughs and learning for just £150. Find out how to perform character and sketch comedy, write a script, produce a show, improve your confidence, master your joke delivery and meet like-minded women.

If all that wasn't incentive enough, the next person to become one of our BFFs will get a Christmas stocking crammed with surprises.

So have yourself a Funny little Christmas and sign up as one of our BFFs today!
