Comedians aren’t just at risk of cabin fever during this time of social distancing and self-isolation, gig cancellations have meant not just loss of earnings but also fewer chances to try out new material or build audiences. However, being a creative lot, comedians have been flexing their comedy muscles online, using YouTube, Twitch, Twitter and other sites to connect with audiences, new and established alike. To help you get your comedy fix, every week we’ll be putting together a list of projects we’ve spotted online by funny women…
2016 Funny Women Awards finalist Micky Overman has been flouting the lockdown rules and travelling the world! That is… if her very, very convincing mini travelogues are to be believed. Most recently the Dutch comedian and ‘travel journalist’ visited Cuba, check out her informative clip here, you might learn something…

Naomi Cooper has been busy cheering everyone up on social media passing on some Notes from Isolation from her character Tunbridge Wells’ wife and mother, Phillipa. Watch them on Naomi’s Twitter channel and check out the ones you’ve missed here!
