In 2025 Funny Women proudly launched The Glitter Challenge, mentoring 10 amazing women who have taken on a unique Comedy Challenge to raise vital funds for The Glitter Project. Each challenger will be mentored by an experienced comedian, helping them write and perfect their own unique 5 minute set. The challenge culminates with a night of stand up, our challengers appearing live on stage at the world’s largest arts festival, Edinburgh Fringe 2025.
The funds we raise from The Glitter Challenge will go towards giving women from all walks of life access to incredible creative opportunities in a safe, inclusive environment.
Let’s meet our next challenger…Harriet Minter
Minter is “a writer, coach and occasional professional feminist. In her previous life she was a journalist for The Guardian, The Times and the FT, as well as having an award-winning radio show for TalkRadio (before it hired Piers Morgan and became a 24/7 conspiracy theory). Nowadays she runs a leadership development company, trying to teach business bosses how to feel something, while also training to become a sex and relationships therapist. Because sex and the workplace go so well together. She lives in London with her dog, Blue, the world’s most pampered Staffy. “
