Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 21st October 2016Review: Funny Women Awards Final 2016, Koko
If we wanted to get all political about it Funny Women shouldn't exist. Comedians are comedians, why should gender even enter into it?

For the first time in as long as I can remember I had to review a gig perched on a step at the back of a room.

There's a glossy 20-page brochure and a goodie bag of make-up for all who attend, too.
