Private events and workshops

Jill can organise a unique comedy based event individually designed to fit your needs. Whether it’s a show with professional comics, or a fun workshop for non-comics with you as the stars, or a combination of all the available options - it will be an event that everyone will remember.

Over seventeen years she has trained some of the UK’s top comics, including Jimmy Carr. Her workshops for non-comics have brought communities together and united groups for a wide range of organisations, including “Pride,” “FinFutures” urban regeneration project and BBC Southern Counties radio project for local women. Jill runs a monthly comedy club at award winning Komedia, Brighton and the “Stand-Up Uk” shows for the Eindhoven Comedy Festival.

Jill was the BBC's chosen Comedy Coach in the South for their "Comic Relief" project in 2011 and appeared in BBC One documentary "Stand-Up for Comic Relief." She has created and been involved in PR and media events across the board, including new business launches, celebrating new partnerships and promoting brand-name products.

“From the moment I spoke to Jill about organising a “Comedy Night” as a PR event for the opening of our Chamber’s Annexe in Brighton I was treated to one of the most professional pieces of organisation it has been my pleasure to experience. It was one of the few occasions I have "organised" where I could just relax and enjoy the evening. It was a great success for us."

Bernard Richmond QC, barrister

“I’ve been hosting PR events with journalists for almost 9 years and this was the best one by far. At first I thought everyone would need a lot of encouragement – and alcohol – to stand up and take centre stage but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Jill pitched it perfectly so everyone dropped their guard immediately, let their hair down and were almost fighting for the mike by the end of the night!”
