Funny Women Presents: The Glitter Project – Platinum Edition

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 · 7:30 pm

Raising funds for The Glitter Project Award-winning Funny Women founder Lynne Parker  is marking her platinum 70th birthday in the best possible way — with a special fundraising comedy night at London’s iconic Comedy Store. The show features incredible women who took part in last year’s Glitter Challenge alongside their comedy mentors in a celebration of new voices in comedy. Headliner: Suzy Bennett (Funny Women Stage Award Winner) Hosted by: Lucy Ryan Plus: A massive ensemble of Glitter Challengers and their Comedy Mentors! “I don’t need any more scented candles,” says Lynne, “but The Glitter Project needs vital funding to continue its work. Please join us for a brilliant night of comedy and help support the next generation of funny women and non-binary performers.” The Glitter Project was created as a legacy for Jo Fletcher-Cross, a beloved Funny Women board member and champion of comedy talent, who sadly lost her life to cancer earlier this year. Together with Jo, Funny Women developed a safe, supportive and joyful initiative where women and non-binary creatives can find their voice. Premiering at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, The Glitter Project has become a vital creative incubator for grassroots comedy — offering workshops, open mics, mentoring sessions and a welcoming creative community where confidence and ideas can grow. In Jo’s words: “All I have ever wanted to do is find joy, laughter and a bit of sparkle along the way in life. I’m thrilled The Glitter Project will help fabulous funny women keep the laughter going for many years to come.” Join us for a brilliant night of comedy and help keep the laughter going. BAR & DINER OPEN FROM 6.30PM Strictly 18’s and over
