NextUp, the digital comedy club streaming incredible unseen sets from the best of comedy’s rising stars, have announced they are partnering with the 2020 Funny Women Awards.

 

NextUp will be filming the final of the awards in September and it will be available to view on the platform after the awards. Awards Director Becky Singh says “ This year, the awards focus on Community and Outreach, aiming to engage with people from all over who previously, either geographically or logistically, have not been able to take part.”

 

Registration is open to take part on the Funny Women Awards website until the 30th April.

 

Sarah Henley, NextUp co-founder says  “We are really chuffed to be partnering with Funny Women on their 2020 Awards. We’re big fans of their dedication to supporting female comedians, something which we are always striving to do at NextUp. We’re also proud to have so many previous finalists and winners on the platform, including Lauren Pattison , Sarah Callaghan and Rachel Parris. It’s a tough time at the moment and we need our laughs now more than ever!”

 

Lynne Parker, Funny Women founder and chief executive says: “We are delighted to be partnering with NextUp for this year’s Funny Women Awards. We plan to enhance the whole virtual experience of entering and will be developing some prizes and packages to complement and celebrate our partnership. Watch this space!”
