I have received a carefully written post-it note from Barbara Brownskirt, above, who will be appearing on Battersea Barge on Thursday 9th May alongside some "very other funny women," as she tells me. She adds,
Please do come for big laughs. You don't have to be a woman or a man to come to this but please wear clothes.
Barbara is appearing as part of South London stand up Rosie Wilby’s female performance showcase Femmes by the Thames. Femmes has been running every few months for the past two years at Royal Vauxhall Tavern to rave reviews - "A great night out" says Diva magazine - and rapt audiences, with guest acts including Pippa Evans, Lady Carol, Sarah Louise Young, Zoe Lyons and Shazia Mirza gracing the stage. However, the story started back in 2007 with a short monthly run on Battersea Barge. Following last year’s fabulous return to their original home as part of Wandsworth Arts Festival in May, they’re doing it again this year. Featuring …..
  • Diane Morgan. Award winning stand up as seen on Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe, Mock The Week, Phoenix Nights. One half of sketch duo Two Episodes of Mash (BBC3 / Radio 4)
  • Karen McLeod (as Barbara Brownskirt). Character comedy-poetry of the wrongest sort from the prize-winning author of In Search of the Missing Eyelash. 'Sensitive, ferocious and very funny' New Statesman
  • Liz Bentley. South London’s quirkiest and most wondrous musical comedy poet. Back by popular demand after performing with us in 2012: ‘Truly the most indefinable act I’ve ever seen. I wouldn't want to have missed it’ Three Weeks
  • Naomi Paxton (as Ada Campe). Monstrously drunken comedy magic and fortune telling from the ever fabulously attired Ada
  • Iszi Lawrence. Rapidly rising stand up. ‘energetic, endearing, thoughtful and highly recommended’ Broadway Baby
  • Plus host Rosie Wilby.
