Comedy doesn’t have to be racist, sexist, rude or political to get a reaction. It can simply be gentle, observational, harmless fun and can get just as many laughs, be just as hilarious.

I am permanently on the lookout for women on the comedy circuit and I rarely find them so when I do it’s always a great treat.

Dare to venture out into the dodgy little fringe theatres, the rooms above pubs that are dotted all around London.
