Gobby Flicks Comedy is a new, monthly comedy night in Birmingham.
On the last Thursday of each month, we will be bringing a hilarious line up of comedians to The Mockingbird Cinema or Midlands Arts Center. The night will end with a comedy short film, either starring our acts from the night or one submitted to us by up and coming filmmakers.
The purpose of the night is to support creatives.
In 2018 the WGGB found that only 18% of sitcoms were written by women. At best, the 2022 Diamond study showed female directors made up only 33% - although we believe this slides to less than 25% in Comedy.
​
Our goal is to redress the balance!
Money raised from the night will go into the Gobby Girl Film Fund. This fund will support female writers and directors in producing their own comedy shorts that will be screened at future nights.
To learn more about the stats that inspired the fund, see the links below.
​
Applications for funding are not yet open, however if you have a comedy short that you would like to screen at one of our nights, email brum@gobbygirl.com and use the subject Gobby Flicks Submission.
