Funny Women Glitter Challenge - London Showcase

FUNNY WOMEN GLITTER CHALLENGE – LONDON SHOWCASE

Over the summer a group of amazing women took on a very special Comedy Challenge to raise vital funds for The Glitter Project and performed five-minutes of stand up comedy at Edinburgh Fringe, the world’s largest arts festival. Join us for a very special showcase as the Funny Women Glitter Challenge transfers to the Comedy Store London for one night only.

Relive our Challengers’ Fringe debut hosted by Ivy Paige featuring Danni Woods, Betty Cherry, Cayley Rae, Carla Harris-Marsh, Donna Gray, Jane Renton and Agathe Thorseth.

All profits after costs will go towards funding the next stage of The Glitter Project. Funny Women CIC is a non-profit organisation.

OUR INSPIRATION

Jo Fletcher-Cross, one of Funny Women’s non-executive directors and a comedian, was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma brain tumour in summer 2022 on the eve of her first full run at the Edinburgh Fringe. She passed away earlier this year. Together with Funny Women, Jo created an enduring legacy with The Glitter Project to encourage those who’ve already established a glittering comedy career to spread ‘a bit of glitter’.

THE GLITTER PROJECT - A SAFE PLACE

Funny Women launched The Glitter Project – A Safe Place in 2024 to provide safe, inclusive and accessible places for women to explore their creativity, develop self-confidence and be inspired through comedy. Now that initial funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and the BBC Comedy Fund has run out, funds raised from this event will go towards maintaining the initiative.
