Not An Open Mic Night – Friday 6 December & Saturday 7 December, 7.30pm, Theatre in the Mill
Natalie and Sophie invite you to apply for The Women’s Comedy Workshop.
These women-led workshops centre around a radical approach to writing and performing stand-up, which is friendly, supportive and challenging.
Over the course of 4 Saturday afternoons, you will develop your own comedic style and material. You will then have the opportunity to perform for 5-10 minutes at one of our very own Not An Open Mic Nights. The performance isn’t mandatory, but – trust us – you’ll want to get on that stage!
Natalie is a PhD candidate at Manchester Metropolitan University, where she is researching women’s empowerment through comedy. Sophie is an experienced education facilitator, with an interest in comedy and power. Now comedy-collaborators, Natalie and Sophie met through previous WCWs – proof that greatness is born in these spaces.
Previous participants have used these workshops to build their confidence, be a part of a community or improve their performance skills. Some have just come to have fun. Women having fun is radical.
Whatever your reason, we know you’re funny. Come and let us prove it to you.
Please note: previous projects have always been over-subscribed, so please get your applications in ASAP to avoid disappointment. Final Deadline is 21 September.
The workshops are free. Applications are open to anyone that identifies as a woman, who is over the age of 18. No previous performance experience necessary. If writing the application form is a barrier to you applying, please contact Natalie on N.Diddams@mmu.ac.uk

The Café Scientifique series are events open to the public to hear about, discuss and debate some of the most recent advances and discoveries in science and healthcare, and their importance to society.
A number of the events over the next few months will feature academics from the University of Bradford.
Each event is led by an academic, who will speak about a certain issue for around 30 minutes, with the aim of demystifying and explaining in simpler, more understandable terms, their ideas to the collective audience, events are split between the Theatre in the Mill and the National Science and Media Museum in the city centre, always running on a Thursday from 6.30pm. They are all free with no need to book, and refreshments will be available.
Professor Marcus Rattray, head of the school of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences and professor of Pharmacology, welcomed the series of talks to the city.
He said: “It is great that Bradford now has a Café Scientifique series so that everyone can find out about the latest thinking in science over a cup of coffee or glass of wine.
The format of the events means that the talks are relatively short and accessible, with lots of time for discussion.”
The next event is Thursday June 13th: Ultrasonics. Dr Elaine Brown @Theatre in the Mill (6.30 pm – 8.00 pm)
