The Funny Women Awards 2020 are officially two thirds of the way towards finding the UK and Ireland’s best breakthrough comedy talent (who happen to be women).

“After 10 fantastic Virtual Heats and much, appropriately, heated debate we are delighted to announce our very deserving semi-finalists. As one of the only stand up comedy competitions running in the world this year, we are incredibly proud of our team, judges and especially our entrants, for devoting their time and talents to making this a rare 2020 comedy success story . ” ​Becky Singh, Funny Women Awards Director
