🎤 SEPTEMBER SPOTLIGHT: WOMEN & COMEDY
Laughter, sass and seriously sharp women!
In September, we turned up the volume – and the laughter – at our Women & Comedy evening, hosted by the wonderful team at Squire Patton Boggs in their gorgeous London Wall offices.
We were thrilled to be joined by Ronni Ancona, the BAFTA-winning impressionist and comedy queen known for her whip-smart wit and unforgettable character portrayals. Alongside her was the fabulously fearless Kathy Lette – bestselling author, feminist firecracker and mistress of the razor-sharp one-liner.
What followed? An evening of big laughs, bold conversation and brilliantly honest storytelling. From behind-the-scenes tales to no-holds-barred insights into women in comedy, Ronni and Kathy lit up the room – and left us all a little braver, louder, and prouder.
Huge thanks again to Squire Patton Boggs for being such generous hosts and to Ronni and Kathy for entertaining us so royally – a night to remember!
