Funny Women Fest LA Is Taking Submissions Until October 14th

The festival is set to take place in Highland Park on Thursday, November 30th through Saturday, December 3rd and will help benefit the Downtown Women’s Center.

They’re looking for female performers in stand-up, sketch, improv, storytelling, musical comedy, sketch, short film, and pilot scripts. Fees range from $20-$50 depending on whether you’re submitting as an individual or a group.

That’s not a pretty good deal especially considering you’re helping an LA foundation that deals with women overcoming homelessness.

Again, the submission deadline is Friday, October 14th, 2016 at midnight.
