Tickets are Pay What you Decide after the event
A powerful, hilarious new force has been quietly growing in comedy over the last three years - disabled women doing it for ourselves. Since our initial comedy masterclasses with the incredible Rosie Jones during lockdown, we've grown from being a short online course to a dynamic writers’ room for disabled women writing in a range of comedy forms. Now it's time to throw off our invisibility and replace it with a cloak of funny and fierce resistance. This will not be a night of the same old stories by the same old voices . Instead we have created characters you will have never seen, written stand up you won't have heard, and will be delivering hilarious brand new lyrics and poetry, all with the potential for cabaret, theatre and TV development.
Get your laughing gear on, come to the party and get ready to join our gang!
The Funny Haha Comedy Writers’ Room has eight women writers from all over the country who meet once a week online to develop our craft and to support each other, and endlessly laugh, and this year sees us push ourselves to the next stage with these fab developments.
Live audience folks - the writers in the group are from a wide range of communities with incredibly diverse experiences and perspectives. Tickets will be available soon - for attending in person and online. Comedy really needs a strong live audience so get your tickets early - they are pay what you decide to make the event accessible and to give you control over paying whatever amount you choose to. If you desire an entertaining night of something completely different - we're your gals. BSL, self and audio description, and captions available. Content awareness information and sensory information will be available in advance.
Comedy industry folks - here is a fantastic opportunity to tune into voices you might not have heard before in front of a live audience – we’re inviting theatre, stand up, TV commissioners, programmers, and bookers to see our potential, to hear more about us and to have a great night! And whilst we make our work for the widest possible audiences, 20-25% of the population is disabled so we also want to ensure that disabled people are included in our audiences. Booking industry tickets will be possible soon.

Book Publication Coming Too!
Yes! We’re also publishing a book! So few disabled voices are yet to be captured in print and so we have decided to put together a collection of works written by the members of Funny Haha. Vibrant, three dimensional characters telling surprising stories. We’re writing on the theme of All The Women I Could Have Been and all the writers have unique ways into this theme.
The book is perfect for readers, disabled actors and cabaret performers, and students of disability writing and performance. We are repeatedly told that there isn't an audience for the work of disabled people, so we hope we can rely on you to become part of a groundswell that proves those old views wrong. Political, surreal, hilarious, relatable and a whole range of forms from really talented writers. You will be able to pre-order so keep checking back or look out for us on social media.
