Dates & Times
Saturday 14 April
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The Comedy Festival’s annual consideration of ladies’ matters is back with a discussion about agents and the representation of women in comedy. What do agents do? Why get one? How do you get one? Do you really need one? What can you do yourself? And how might women in particular benefit from representation?
Join the debate and help contribute to a new comedy climate of liberty, equality and sorority.
Moderated by comedian Clare Bartholomew, with Judith Lucy, Anne Edmonds, Kevin Whyte (Managing Director of Token Group) and MaryAnne Carroll (Executive Producer - Comedy, Network Seven).
