Gags for Good are holding a comedy night<\/a> in Sheffield this Sunday, celebrating International Women\u2019s Day in support of YWCA Yorkshire.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

April Louise, co-organiser of Gags for Good said: \u201cIt\u2019ll be a brilliant night for everyone, and it will also show why the organisation (YWCA Yorkshire) matters. It\u2019s our region and it makes a massive impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YWCA Yorkshire<\/a> work to fund life-changing services for women and children facing challenging circumstances in Sheffield. The charity is particularly close to co-organiser Nicole Scott\u2019s heart, as she also works within the charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April said: \u201cYou\u2019re having a good time, its going to a good cause, it\u2019s a bit like a happy cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-founders April and Nicole said that the purpose of the night is to represent female comedians who currently make up just 25% of comics. Alongside their work, they have organised comedy courses, which help support women with social anxiety to become more confident public speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
