Hi! I'm Kelly Griffiths and I have just created a new comedy platform for working-class, underrepresented female identifying performers, writers and directors. We are The Tits...bold, beautiful and unashamedly "out there"!

As a working class performer writer from the Midlands I feel there is a huge gap in the industry where Women in the Midlands are being criminally misrepresented or unseen. My mission with this platform is to create events showcasing women in comedy who then have the opportunity to network with the industry professionals I invite to their performances.

I am hosting my first event at The Blackbox Theatre in Birmingham on the 5th April which I am, currently, self-funding (sorry credit card!). I need your help to ensure this event is the best it can possibly be. If I reach my target I will be able to invite more industry professionals to attend and market the event sufficiently, hire a trained technician to ensure the evening goes without a hitch, hire someone to work the door so I'm not frantically trying to do everything myself, provide the actors with more tech rehearsal time in the space and hire professional photographer/videographer to promote future events.

What's next? If this evening is successful, I will be applying for arts council funding to host more of these events across the Midlands monthly.

If you're still reading and think this cause is worth a cheers in the pub, please consider donating the cost of a pint. If you would buy a ticket but can't make the event, please consider donating £10. If you want to give me a cheers, a ticket to the event and big big hug from me, please consider donating £20 or more!

Thank you so much for supporting underrepresented, working-class, funny AF women in the Midlands :)
