Funny Business Competition

Each year the Funny Business Competition takes place during the Liverpool Comedy Festival.

Participants from each Funny Business course run throughout the year are chosen to battle it out for this top accolade.

The winner bags themselves a 10 minute spot at a Rawhide Thursday night as well as a year long pass to Rawhide Comedy Club.

The 2009 Funny Business Final saw the eight best graduates from the Comedy Trust’s stand up course gathered to do battle for a slot at Rawhide Comedy Club.

All of the finalists were there on merit and all performed well. Special mentions went to Siobhan O'Donnell, a Marketing Manager who moved to Liverpool from Kent and shared her outlook on stereotypes, internet dating and men but there could only be one winner and that was Katie Friel whose set was packed with stories about being a Vetinary Student and liberated women. With a few more gigs under her belt, Katie has the potential to be a comic for years to come. The future looks bright.
