Women that Funny:
The Grande Dame Podcast
Coming soon…
When Claire Ford was 20, it was an outrageous funny older woman that effectively saved her life, with one, dark, inappropriate joke, at the funeral of her younger brother. From there she went on to find the funny wherever she could. And so this podcast is a love letter to all the funny, courageous and influential Grande Dames out there. Saving lives, one bold joke at a time.
Claire Ford, the interviewer person
With a background in physical comedy on the live circuit, Claire loves being an idiot and loves other idiots too. Finding out more about them is the greatest.
So what will she ask of her outrageously funny guests? All the best questions, like, when did they first realise they were funny? How do they navigate doing it for a career? What’s their favourite block of cheese to eat in one sitting?
Claire Ford interviews female and gender diverse stand-ups, writers, screen producers and more, to find out, what is it like being a woman that funnies.
