Women and Equalities Committee: Experiences of women in live comedy

Committee hears from witnesses

The Women and Equalities Committee will hear oral evidence on the experiences of women in live comedy. This inquiry examines barriers, discrimination, and workplace conditions that women comedians face in the live performance sector, including issues of safety, harassment, pay equity, and opportunities for progression.

This inquiry addresses systemic gender inequality within a significant cultural industry. The findings will inform potential policy recommendations on workplace protections, diversity in entertainment, and whether existing equalities legislation is adequately enforced in the live comedy sector—affecting women's participation and safety in professional performance.
