A smattering of the 2015 Funny Women Awards finalists turned Carnaby Street pink to celebrate the fast approaching Awards, where we will discover who will win our Stage, Comedy Shorts and Comedy Writing Award this year!
Our finalists have proved their comedy credentials in heats across London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Brighton and Manchester. On Wednesday 23rd September at London’s Kings Place theatre, Desiree Burch, Helen Monks, Jane Postlethwaite, Julie Ann Meaney, Kate Kennedy, Maggy Whitehouse, Rosana Bosanac, Sarah Keyworth, Sophie Duker and Tamar Broadbent will be making us and our fabulous judging panel laugh.
Our finalists will be in good company as 2003 Funny Women finalist Kerry Godliman is to host the Awards. Judging the Stage Award will be Gavin Smith (Creative Director, Comedy Unit), Rachel Springett (Commissioning Editor, Channel 4 Comedy), Kitty Laing (Agent, United Agents), Fiona Clark (Executive Producer, ITV Entertainment), Julia McKenzie (Head of Radio Comedy, BBC), Morwenna Gordon (Development Executive, Comedy, Sky UK), Gail Bojarski (General Manager, Benefit Cosmetics), Ian Marshall (Managing Director, Benefit Cosmetics) and Lynne Parker as the Chair (Founder and Chief Executive, Funny Women).
As usual we will be fundraising for the charity Refuge with the help of our headline sponsors Benefit Cosmetics.
We can’t wait!
