Funny Women
The 20th Anniversary Funny Women Awards Gala Final is set to take place on Thursday 28th September at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre, hosted by Funny Women’s very own ‘Matron’, Jo Brand.
This year's So You Think You're Funny? final in Edinburgh in August had an international flavour to it and so did the latest Funny Women Stage Award final. As comedy continues to thrive it is becoming more cosmopilitan, more multi-cultural. And the standard keeps getting stronger too.
The Funny Women Awards took place on Thursday night at the Bloomsbury Theatre and the big winner was Lorna Rose Treen.
The writer/actor/character comedian picked up two prizes – The Stage Award and the Comedy Short Award.
The runners up for the stage award were Marjolein Robertson and Jessie Nixon.
The Industry Award sponsored by 50:50 went to Amy Annette.
Ruby Carr won the Comedy Writing Award sponsored by Sky Studios.
Tik Tok star Chan Wills won the Content Creator prize.
