I went to one of the heats of the Funny Women Competition last night at the Betsy Trotwood pub in Farringdon and saw ex-BCG alumni and all round groovy chick Jane P doing some stand up.
She did an awesome job and got quite a few laughs and I take my hat off to her, getting up in front of a bunch of strangers and trying to make them laugh just seems absolutely terrifying to me.
There was a great atmosphere, the compere was very good and my worst fear about female comedy - non-stop man hating, periods and baby jokes - wasn't realised. Though one bird did a whole segment about the joys of 'Hobby Craft', which left me perplexed as I don't know what that is. Hovercrafts yes, Hobby Craft, no.
I would thoroughly recommend going to one of the heats and er...seeing the comedy stars of tomorrow, today!...yes, that has just the right amount of cheese.
If you are reading this good luck Jane, you deserve to go through to the finals.
Blimey, has Renegade had heatstroke? very pleasant post that.
But it was probably an even split of men and women in the audience so I had to scrap all my 'period' jokes 
.
- I hereby challenge you to an 8 mile style comedy 'battle'. Err maybe not - we should learn from each other instead - I'll start calling the government a bunch of ****ers and you can complain about men not putting the toilet seat down.
