Funny Women is the UK's leading female comedy community, helping women to perform, write and do business with humour.

Funny Women

The only way is UP as women embrace their power around the world. From the new Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris, to the brilliant young activist, Greta Thunberg, women from all backgrounds are exercising their right to step up, speak out and lead. Yet a snapshot of the world shows that the UK is in 38th position for the proportion of women in government. There are 220 women MPs in the House of Commons with just five female ministers serving at Cabinet level. Rwanda has over 61% and Cuba has a female majority in parliament. Women in the UK Public Sector are more prominent. Recent data shows that 44% of public appointments were women across all sectors from judges, police officers to teachers.Women are by nature practical, strong, creative and nurturing and have proven to be the backbone of family and business life during the global pandemic. It’s time to celebrate these achievements and recognise the power of strong female leadership.
