Laughter 101: Janice Bannister will host the B.C.'s Funniest Female contest at Lafflines Comedy Club in New West.

A group of hilarious female comics will be vying for the title of B.C.’s Funniest Female at Lafflines Comedy Club this week.

An annual event hosted by Laughter Zone 101, the competition is open to women with less than 10 years of comedy experience. All type of comedy, including stand-up, improv, musical and story, are welcome in the competition.

‘The event started out as a chance to give women more comedy stage time, so I feel incredibly honoured to be producing this event again,” said New West resident Janice Bannister in a press release. “The lineup of comics we have signed up for the preliminary rounds is guaranteed to provide a wonderful evening filled with laughter, and the finals are always very exciting.”

The preliminary rounds are on Thursday, June 28 (today), with shows staring at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. The finals are on Friday, June 29, with doors opening at 7 p.m. and the show getting underway at 8 p.m.

“This is the fourth B.C.’s Funniest Female Contest event that Laughter Zone 101 has produced and all of the shows sell out,” Bannister said. “What can I say? Women are funny, and we want to get together and have a good laugh.”

Lafflines is located in the Columbia Theatre at 530 Columbia St. Tickets are $16 and $18 and available online at www.eventbrite.ca (search for Funniest Female Competition 2018).
