Review: The Big Comedy Conference
In a world where creative women are often freelance, networking events have become an essential part of life. But, before attending, I am always thinking, will it be a comfortable friendly space? Will the atmosphere feel safe and inclusive? Case in point: The BGC Pro Big Comedy Conference is an annual London event, geared towards emerging writers, directors and performers. It promises the usual menu of expert panels and practical workshops that aims to have something for everyone. This year saw Black Friday sales on tickets to entice attendees and a last minute venue change to the London School of Economics.
