Gobby Girls: The 11 Percent Club is a sketch comedy show at The Live Room, created by Gobby Girl Productions, Female Pilot Club and Funny Women. The show is an hour of sketches written and performed by women drawn from television and stand-up, skewering the gender imbalance in comedy — specifically that women write 11% of UK sitcoms. The premise is a satirical, self-aware dismantling of the arguments against women in comedy. The show is 60 minutes, tickets are £5, and the age guidance is 18+. It contains strong language.
Why see this show?
Sharp, biting sketch comedy from a group of writers and performers who know the comedy industry from the inside. The concept — women doing comedy to argue why women shouldn't do comedy — is sly and well-constructed, and the price makes it an easy recommendation.
