What if five minutes on a comedy stage could change the way you show up everywhere else?
The Funny Women Glitter Challenge is a six-month personal development experience for professional women, finishing with your first stand up set at The Comedy Store London.
Now recruiting. No obligation, just email info@funnywomen.com for the details.
This isn’t a comedy course
You’re already good at what you do. You lead, present and negotiate. But what happens when the script disappears and you have to stand up in front of strangers and make them laugh?
You don’t need to be a comedian. In fact, that’s rather the point. Comedy is the vehicle. Confidence, presence, resilience and an authentic voice are what you take away.
Up to 10 professional women in each curated cohort
6 months of workshops, bootcamps and one-to-one mentoring with comedy professionals
One big night performing stand up at The Comedy Store London
Hear from our Challengers
“I thought I was learning how to do stand up, but actually I was learning how to be seen, take up space and stop making myself smaller.”
Carla Harris-Marsh
“Now, after having made people laugh on stage in front of 80 plus people, nothing scares me!!”
Agathe Thorseth
“I can apply the lessons I’ve learnt to my day job presenting and speaking…”
Danni Woods
From “I’ll never be able to pull this off” to “OMG, I don’t want it to end!”
Donna Gray
Could you do it?
You don’t need to arrive confident. You don’t need comedy experience. You don’t even need to know whether you’re funny enough.
You just need to be willing to take the first step.
