Funny Females and Friends* Stand-Up Comedy Workshop

Always been the funny one among your friends? Or maybe you´re just in love with laughs and want to learn the recipe for a great joke? What better way to kickstart your way into stand-up than a playful and interactive comedy workshop?

As an initiative, Funny Females* and Friends wants to create an inclusive comedy scene in Frankfurt by empowering diverse voices. We aim to create a safe and friendly space where FLINTA*s (women/lesbian/inter/non-binary /trans/agender people) can try out stand-up in a supportive environment and through it discover their voice. Roasting patriarchy, one punchline at a time!

In this workshop, led by local female comedians, we will introduce you to the theory of stand-up comedy and take the first steps into the practice; provide you with tools to build your comedy writing skills and help you kickstart your process of finding your unique comedy voice. At the end of the day, you can try out your first 3-minute set at our Funny Females* and Friends mixed comedy mic where newcomers as well as experienced WLINTA* comedians are welcome to perform.

Date: Saturday, October 26th, 10:00-15:00 incl. lunch break. After the official end of the workshop, you have until 16:00 in the workshop room to work on your material either alone or together with other participants.

About the organizers:

Lichi(cus) is a world nomad who finally found her home - in Frankfurt, surprisingly! From an early age, she fancies herself a comic artist with an innate curiosity for knowing what makes people ‘tick’. Besides her artist endeavors, in her day job, she draws pictures and plays games to get adult professionals to talk to each other. Born with the travel bug, she combines her multiple cultural backgrounds with her travel adventures in her comedy and designs, trying to bring people together through laughs.

Amanda Urban is a German farm girl now living in Frankfurt. She loves big cities because potatoes don't grow on concrete. As a millennial, she addresses her body image ruined by the early 2000s, her upbringing between cows, and her love for recycling (after all, she´s German!). She´d love to contribute to a more diverse comedy scene in Frankfurt ‘cause she doesn't speak d*ck properly.
