Our thanks to James for this. An extract:
We know that there will be many more talented female comics out there who we look forward to working with in future. [What’s stopped you in the past?]
We also know that it’s important to take concrete steps to support female performers. [Why is it important? Because so few of them are funny, they need ‘support’?]
Earlier this year we were official partners of the UN Women’s HeforShe gender equality campaign.
If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.

Well, it’s like this.
The Patriarchy aren’t literally silly.
They know they can’t compete with women when it comes to comedy and humour so they have to try to artificially hold them back by discrimination.
This is just the 99 Club’s way of righting the wrongs, see?
Hope that’s all clear now.

Comedians with vaginas? That’ll be comediennes then. In the bad old days, when the patriarchy ensured that women who earned a living at comedy were actually within sight of being funny, comdians with vaginas were called comediennes and it wasn’t necessary to add all those extraneous syllables in ‘with vaginas’. Life was so much simpler under the patriarchy, which consideration more and more women are starting to understand.
That aside, comedians with vaginas are very rarely funny, so handing out piffling bursaries is just a waste of money, but then what else can women do but waste money?
