Funny Women Fest is proud to announce it’s 3rd annual #FWFLA. The all- female comedy festival is taking over the streets of historic Highland Park, Los Angeles on November 30th thru December 3rd, 2016.
Funny Women Fest is a celebration of women in comedy that encourages community and collaboration for female makers in all aspects of entertainment. Each year, Funny Women Fest throws an #FWFLA party – showcasing the best of the best in comedy, art, and music – all created by women. A place where indie artists share the same stages as celebrities, performing stand up, sketch, improv, storytelling, original screenings and more. #FWFLA is a creative collective, going beyond performances to offer panel discussions, workshops, and meet-ups for both up-and-comers and leaders in the industry. The fest was created two years ago by Lauren Frost and Erin Miller Williams, together the comedy production duo Cake Batter, and has since tripled in size.
Last year, #FWFLA featured over 600 performers from across North America, with appearances by Maribeth Monroe (Workaholics), Kay Cannon (Girlboss, Pitch Perfect), Mary Lynn Rajskub (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Frangela (VH1’s Best Week Ever), Kate Walsh (Private Practice), Wendi McLendon- Covey (Bridesmaids), Missi Pyle (Inside Amy Schumer), and Kate Flannery (The Office).
#FWFLA has expanded to a block party style festival, in the hub of Highland Park, where art thrives and creativity is celebrated. This year, Hi Hat will serve as the main stage along with community supporters all along York Blvd.
“There’s just so many types of creatives in Highland Park. We thought, why not bring the festival there and celebrate them all?” says Executive Producer, Erin Miller Williams “Highland Park has always been my favorite place to write and then treat myself to a taco truck and a nice beer. It’s full of music and art, now we’re bringing comedy into the mix.” adds Co-Executive Producer, Lauren Frost.
A portion of all #FWFLA proceeds will be donated in support of Downtown Women’s Center, providing temporary and permanent housing for homeless and low-income women in Los Angeles’ Skid Row community.
