Funny Women empowers women everywhere to literally ‘stand up’ not just for the entertainment of others but to find their voice in all walks of life. We aim to bring a wider, more diverse set of voices (and women) into our organisation and our work by recognising, actively challenging, and dismantling the additional barriers women of colour face in our industry. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalised communities.
