SEXIST COMEDY COMPETITION IN "PAY TO PLAY" SCANDAL

Women have the power to be funny..... for just £15


Sexist comedy promoter "Fanny Women" who last year sparked outrage and controversy by charging wannabe comediennes a whopping £15 entry fee to take part in their competition have become embroiled in a yet another scandal by still blatantly refusing to let any males, transvestites or male to female transsexuals enter their annual contest

You've got £15 and a fanny? then we'll let you try to be funny! 

In addition, THE STUN has learned from an undisclosed source that despite raising several hundred thousand pounds from Youtube adsense revenues AND three new sponsors the disgustingly controversial £15 pay to play entrance fee remains in place for yet another year!

Trans comic Glenda Sheeman, "it's a diabolical liberty!"

Outraged transsexual comic Glenda Sheeman told THE STUN "every year I try to enter the Fanny Women comp and each year get the same response, they don't want me or my £15 because I once possessed a penis, had I been a female to male transsexual I would have been accepted, it's blatant gender apartheid and a diabolical liberty, political correctness gone mad, you couldn't make this stuff up"

THE STUN put it to Fanny Women organiser Lynda Sheaffer that her competition not only exploited gullible women but was sexist towards men, Sheaffer retorted "Unless you have a GENUINE fanny you simply cannot enter our competition, end of story! it's called Fanny Women for a reason, regardless of recent gender reassignment breakthroughs we can't have comics with penises going around entering Fanny Women willy nilly"

Last years £15 entrance fee was seen by critics as exploiting naive, inexperienced and girly acts who had no real chance of actually being "funny" during the social media shitstorm that followed, Sarah Milliband, Sheppie Corrs-Hendy & Jo Coalfield all tweeted their disapproval at the huge entry fee, "£15 can feed a slim female comic for a month" Tweeted Coalfield, the former face of Fanny Women's website who urged hard-up lady comics to take their £15 down to Primark instead

Posh new act Roberta Lyndsey, yet another hissy fit

Posh Roberta Lyndsey an up and coming comedienne still reeling from her recent hissy fit over the effects of "diversity" on oppressed female open-micers told us "I was looking forward to doing this last year but the £15 entry fee came as a shocking deal breaker, my mum can't afford to keep supporting my starving artist lifestyle AND pay these exhorbitant fees as well, it's discrimination, shame on them, I'm very very cross, so cross that I shall write an angry blog about it!"

In 2011 Fanny Women sought to justify the £15 entry fee by claiming they had no sponsor to fund the bits of the contest that their huge audience revenues didn't cover, whilst that may have washed last year THE STUN has learned that they have attracted no less than THREE corporate sponsors for the 2012 competition!

Kiera Barley, MD at one of the sponsors, cosmetics brand BENEFIT said "The deal is perfect because our range of make-up also costs £15, there are many other brand value synergies, for example most of the Fanny Women acts are on benefits and like the myth that women can be funny our customers faces are "made up" too"

The Fanny Women competition also has an award for the best variety act which is sponsored by BLUE NUN wine. Julie Feral of the brand placement agency said "Sponsorship of sexist competitions connects people, Brand values are strengthened by it, the Blue Nun is also a woman and when she gets pissed on Liebfraumilch she's hilarious"

In a statement from the competitions other sponsor, Mrs. Shirley Tampax, Marketing director of sanitary protection brand LIBERTY panty liners said "bloody hell, we were unaware of this controversy but having thought about it, we can still align brand values synergistically, Comediennes are well known for their menstruation jokes and like the Fanny Women £15 entry fee our product is also a bleeding liberty" 

KERCHING! Fanny Women shaking that money maker

Rival "FREE ENTRY" comedy competitions are being set up in response to give men, trannies and the masses of women without the required three £5 notes a chance to be represented in what is still a very divisive,  exploitative and for some, highly lucrative art form
