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…Nishma Patel Robb.
Robb is “the Founder and Chief Sparkle Officer of Glittersphere, a movement helping women turn visibility into financial power through personal branding and storytelling. Formerly Google’s UK Brand & Reputation lead, she now champions The Other AI™: Authentic Intelligence, spotlighting empathy and humanity in the age of automation. A celebrated speaker and former WACL President, she’s also a Fellow of the IPA and The Marketing Society. With a career spanning media, advertising, and tech, Nishma is on a mission to make reinvention irresistible and to remind women everywhere that brilliance deserves to be seen, heard, and paid.”
