Release your funny bones!

We all need a laugh, don't we?

Humour is essential for communication, and there are many health benefits associated with fun and laughter. Through my work with Funny Women CIC I have found many ways to tap into a range of comedy skills and techniques to help build confidence both personally and professionally.

Our popular online Comedy Crash Course is a great 'gateway' and our next one starts in two weeks’ time, from Monday 22nd to Friday 26th April. Enjoy a comedic ‘lunch break’ with us for an hour each day. I'm joined by three other very special facilitators, including a leading social media creator with 3.5 million followers, and together we will take you through the week, as outlined below. This is what one happy participant said about one of our previous courses:

“It was a brilliantly diverse line-up of talented industry professionals who gave us great techniques to try out new ideas while giving constructive and helpful feedback.”

Day one is all about kickstarting the creative process under my direction. As the founder of Funny Women, I have worked with and launched the careers of thousands of women over the last 20 years and my session will connect you, build your confidence and get your creativity flowing ready for the rest of this amazing week.

Tuesday

On day two Mariana Feijó will be showing you some tips and tricks to punch up your comedy ideas. ?As a queer, Portuguese multidisciplinary artist based in London. Mariana’s practice started from a necessity to learn how to communicate and create community, pushing the boundaries of conventional comedic performance through collaboration and the combining of different art forms.

I'm so excited to have Monica Gaga?back with us for day three’s session about how the principles?of improv can be used as a tool to build on your performance skills.
