Having fun at work and embracing humour in the workplace has never been more important. In these challenging times for business, the value of a ‘good laugh’ should never be underestimated, particularly within our communities. Funny Women are celebrating the joy (yes, really!) of work in partnership with Medway Council and the Federation of Small Businesses in the only way they know how – by encouraging a few laughs and expanding our creative boundaries with humour.
Funny Women has been empowering women in the comedy industry for over 20 years and in response to the demand for our programmes in the workplace they run their HERlarious programme to encourage professional women to have their voice and invite the support of their male allies.
We learn and bond through the collective power of humour and we retain a lot more information and build relationships with the people we work with by having a few laughs.
This very special free event is aimed at exactly that, as part of their Comedy in the Community programme in Medway. It features workshops, panel discussion, essential networking and live comedy (of course!), and they will show you how to express your ideas more confidently and freely using some of the tried and tested tricks of the comedy trade.
Funny Women have carefully curated a programme to boost your confidence to take on a leadership within your community, to apply for a job you’ve always wanted or to say what you think in a meeting.
Get valuable advice on how to work, play and perform your ‘roles’ in business, embrace creative thinking and improve your mental health and wellbeing. They will introduce you to techniques to communicate more effectively, interpret body language, tell a story and develop a strong personal narrative with humour.
Everyone is encouraged to attend, regardless of gender.
Take part in a lively round of quickfire workshops facilitated by amazing local business leaders. There will be four topics to choose from.
Followed by an interactive panel featuring local leaders and live comedy.
Coffee and tea will be served upon arrival and a light lunch will be served alongside the comedy.
This event is FREE to attend and fully funded by Medway Council and the UK SPF. However, Funny Women are asking for optional donations to their nominated charity, the Wisdom Hospice.
