What happens when someone tells you “women aren’t funny”? If you’re Lynne Parker BCAa, you build a movement. In this episode, Lynne — Founder & CEO of Funny Women CIC and host of How to Have Fun at Work podcast— shares the origin story of Funny Women, the growth of the Funny Women Awards (from 70 entrants to 2,000+ across performance, writing, film and content creation), and why comedy is one of the most powerful confidence tools in leadership and life.
We talk about platforming new talent (not managing it), the loyalty and pay-it-forward culture among alumni, HERlarious workshops for business audiences, and the bold “Edinburgh Fringe challenge” that took nine first-timers from boardroom to five minutes on stage. Lynne also reflects on receiving the British Citizen Award for Services to the Arts (BCAa), why recognition matters for the arts, and what great leadership looks like when you’re building social impact.
Expect practical ideas, a few behind-the-scenes stories, and a lot of heart. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not funny,” this one’s for you.
