James Burns

Last year we gave you the chance to win our everlasting friendship in a picture competition. We asked you to send us your best and funniest Christmas moment captured in a picture, selfie or moment in prose, joke or rhyme. 

You are a funny lot and we would like you all to be our BFFs but for this competition there could only be one. We couldn't resist Claire Potter's image that turned Coca-Cola's famous Christmas "Holidays are coming" advert on its head by adding a seasonal sense of danger! 

Claire captioned her winning Christmas photo entry: "Parents always said that drinking too much Coke would kill us, but we never thought like this..!"

When we told our new BFF Claire the news she told us: "How exciting! Nearly spat my coffee over my laptop when I saw your message!"

Congratulations Claire, with our friendship comes an invitation to our BFF exclusive launch party in Spring 2014 with special guests (other than you!), a Funny Women BFF card for deals, priority booking and seating on all of our key events for a lifetime.

Claire will also now by able to take advantage of our special one-time, one-off, never-to-be-repeated offer available ONLY to our BFFS –  a whopping £100 discount off of our next Funny Women Workshop Weekend in February 2014. Usually priced at £250, you can join us at an exclusive London club 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.
