Welcome to the 2025 Funny Women Awards
I’m still buzzing from the amazing 2025 Funny Women Awards Grand Final sponsored by BBC Studios digital channel Funny Parts! This event is always the biggest in our year and it didn’t disappoint.
Free Association opens new comedy venue in Southwark
Located in Southwark under the old union yard arches, a brand new theatre venue from The Free Association – London’s biggest name in improvised comedy – is introduced in South London.
Review: Bog Witch, Bryony Kimmings
Inspired by female stories, social taboos, and dismantling power structures Bryony Kimmings made a public vow in 2021 to only work on things that would help the planet. Her latest show, Bog Witch, is about uncertain times, ecosystem collapse and finding new ways to be happy.
Sunlight, starring Nina Conti – Review
Co-written by Nina Conti and Shenoah Allen, the script was simultaneously punchy, funny, tragic, and bizarre. The chemistry between Conti and Allen as comedians, creatives, and co-leads was electric.
