Humour is a valuable form of self expression that women can develop.
We help women to explore their funny side to build self confidence, improve relationships and enhance communications. Over the last seven years over 1,000 women have found their comic voice through workshops, one to one coaching and live events, so we've taken on board what we've learnt along the way and created a workshop format that introduces you to the techniques of stand up comedy.
With more women compelled to make speeches at social events and professional women increasingly sharing their experiences on public and media platforms, confidence and communication skills are essential for achieving personal and professional success.
Enjoy working with other women to explore how a humorous approach to life and business can empower you. We run regular public workshops in a variety of locations across the UK, offer one to one coaching and provide bespoke events and interactive confidence building workshops for businesses and organisations.
“The tools and insights you used were very inspirational and left everyone in the room with a huge smile on their face and a different view on how they can use their skills and humour to great effect.”
“Your workshop has given my confidence a boost and perhaps I will be a little more able to hold my own in a very, very, very male dominated company. What I need is to be able to attend a workshop about every month just to keep topping up my confidence!”
“Just wanted to say thank you for what a boost last Wednesday has given me. Don't think my other half quite believed me when I got home and told him! Thinking of ways that I can use my renewed liking of public speaking now :-).”
"Thank you so much for your fantastic workshop you did for us on Saturday at the London Fringe Show Day. I know it was such late notice - and you did a marvelous job! I know everyone really enjoyed it, and it definitely added to the day!"
"The workshops are good places for women to share and feel like ‘it’s not just me who feels like this’ which I found brilliant."
"I enjoyed the evening very much indeed. It was great fun, relaxed, lovely to meet other people and I gained a lot from it personally."
"Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the workshop and all the advice. I had great time and really enjoyed meeting like-minded funny women. I think it might have given me a new lease of confidence and outlet for my comedy - who knows what might happen..."
