Ivy Paige explores what it's like to be a professional comedy writer with Christine Rose, recipient of the 2020 Funny Women Best Comedy Writer Award with Comedy 50:50. Christine has written funny stuff for The BAFTA Film and Television Awards, The BRITS, The Royal Variety Show, Comic Relief, Live at The Apollo and put words into the mouths of Graham Norton, Frankie Boyle, Sara Pascoe, Jimmy Carr, Samuel L. Jackson and even Robert De Niro!  And that’s literally the tip of a very big talent iceberg! Ivy and Christine discuss how to write for other people and what it really means to write jokes for a living. Plus Funny Women founder Lynne Parker talks to Ivy about the importance of being recognised by your industry peers.
