Our Funny Women in Business workshop covers a range of exciting and interactive techniques to help you with presenting and delivering your message in a personal and compelling style. Based on the principals of stand up we show you how to develope ‘material’, overcome nerves and increase your self confidence.
“I have seen how much stand up helps women to become more assertive and confident in their every day lives. We have been running comedy workshops for women alongside the Funny Women Awards for the last two years and our business programme is an extension of this activity,” Lynne Parker, founder.
Read about Lynne's approach to communications and presentation skills in the Guardian - "It is founded on the principals of stand up comedy and, above all, it's lots of FUN - a good way to approach business communication."

Enhanced self confidence and the knowledge that you can overcome some of life’s trickier situations with an appropriate injection of humour is a powerful skill. Women often find it harder to use comedy particularly when called upon to speak in public, so we've created a programme designed to bring out the funny in the fairer sex, proven to enhance both self confidence and presentation skills.
Empower the women in your business or organisation by teaching them some of the tricks of the comedy trade. We've taken what we’ve learned through developing and producing live comedy shows for the last eight years and adapted it to your business needs – whether you want a corporate event or an interactive workshop for you and your colleagues.
We use techniques used in stand-up comedy to coach, train, build teams and improve confidence. We can run workshops or coach you on a one to one basis in your own business environment or a venue of your choice.
"Funny Women’s Catherine Semark closed out our conference on International Women’s Day and she was absolutely hilarious. What a fantastic way to end the day as laughter filled the room and created a lot of energy for the after conference networking. We are so grateful to Lynne and her team at Funny Women for all their help in making the conference such a tremendous success. We would absolutely recommend Funny Women for any event.
"Lynne Parker’s Stand Up to Stand Out introduction workshop was also very well received by the delegates at our recent conference. We received feedback from a number of the women who attended on how much personal confidence her workshop gave them and how it freed them up when they were speaking in front of a group. It was a perfect session to include in the day and we would definitely recommend Lynne and her team for any event."
