Comedy brand Funny Women is looking for a new sponsor after parting ways with most recent sponsors Benefit Cosmetics.
If we wanted to get all political about it Funny Women shouldn’t exist. Comedians are comedians, why should gender even enter into it? But it does and the Funny Women organisation is clearly tapping into something. This year’s final was staged at a bigger venue than usual and it was absolutely packed. For the first time in as long as I can remember I had to review a gig perched on a step at the back of a room.
The winner of this year's Funny Women Final has been chosen.
It is musical comedian Harriet Braine.
The final took place at Koko in Camden Town. It was sponsored by Benefit Cosmetics and judged by a panel of comedy industry experts.
