Top Women In Comedy Today
Who said that British humour isn't hilarious? Here’s a list we put together of our favourite women in UK comedy:
Jo Caulfield
Award-winning Welshstand-up comedian Jo Caufield has the unique ability to turn “pet-hates” into jokes in a way that makes you feel a little less unhinged about having them in the first place. She makes a show out of what nobody else dares to say out loud and will bring the house down while she’s at it.

Angela Barnes
If you’d like to hear your intrusive thoughts turned into comedic ammo, give us a call about Angela Barnes. Her hilarious anecdotes keep the audience hanging on for more while somehow managing to make topical issues relatable through laughs. Angela credits her ease on stage to her use of hearing aids and sincerely advocates for vulnerable and marginalised groups.

Catherine Bohart
Beware Catherine Bohart’s misleading innocence: she gives Sound of Music vibes if Betty White were playing Liesl.
