Jeez Louise is the Comedy Festival’s annual weekend chat-fest of forums, panels, workshops, networking and performances for anyone who's interested in women in comedy. Terrified newcomers and practising professionals spend the weekend talking comedy and developing material.

JL featured, in 2008...

  • highly practical writing and stagecraft workshops
  • keynote panel with Lou Sanz, Nelly Thomas and Judith Lucy
  • a chance to perform for all participants
  • casual conference breakfast on Sunday morning


Whether you've ever - or never - done live comedy before, Jeez Louise is a unique chance to compare notes… or write your first ones!

The Jeez Louise 2008 Weekend is over!
