Desiree Burch gaining the award in 2015 (with Lynne Parker)
Funny Women is an online and in-person workshop community dedicated to the support of female comedians. It was founded by Lynne Parker in 2002[1] as a reaction to misogynistic comments from a comedy promoter.[2] Funny Women helps women find their voice, promote them, and assists charities.
During the 2019 Funny Women Awards Final, Funny Women announced that their new Patron (renamed “Matron”), would be Jo Brand.[3]
