‘Fem De la Femme’ drops in Liverpool on 18 May, showcasing some of the best female comic performers and spoken-word artists in the North-West. Being a female comedy performer in a traditionally male-dominated profession has its challenges, but this all-female line-up night hopes to redress the balance a little by giving a platform to some incredible female-identifying talent!
The launch night on Wednesday 18 May at Fredericks, 32 Hope Street, Liverpool, is in aid of WHISC (The Women’s Health Information & Support Centre), will showcase established award-winning acts alongside new and upcoming female-identifying performers, home-grown here in the North-West. It promises to be quite a night – and not to be missed!
