Helen Lederer, an avid diarist and writing her first play at the tender age of 10, were factors that built the foundations for life as a much-loved and respected British comedian that all began in The Comedy Store in London.  Stand-up comedian, actress, author, commissioned writer for BBC Radio, a regular panelist on television & radio and appearances on social media platforms – and now award creator for ‘Comedy Women in Print’ – a wonderful collection of accolades!

 

Helen decided to create the comedy award to recognise and promote the creative women behind this area of talent. The prize inspires women who write funny and witty novels to enter the competition for generous prizes, and much deserved recognition for the overall winners.
