“ So it's full on promo, just trying to get the word out there. We are a non-for-profit festival. We don't get any funding, so it's pretty much just on myself and Jessica who's the director of the festival. getting out to all the cafes and putting the brochures out,... just kind of getting the city hyped up about the festival.” - Aimee Perry who is the Programmer for the Women In Comedy festival which starts in Manchester on the 2nd October

We talk about the work that goes in to organising and promoting a festival of this size, what the festival can offer performers and Aimee’s wider experience in comedy working previously at The Bill Murray and Gilded Balloon and her current role as Head Booker at the Frog & Bucket comedy club in Manchester.
