Blue Nun had a brilliant time at the Funny Women Awards Charity Final last night (26th September) and it was great to see the 13 brilliant acts that made it to perform on the stage at the Leicester Square theatre. We have not laughed so much in ages!

We thought all of the acts were great, so much great female talent and comedy out there. Big congratulations to all of the winners and to Suzy Bennett, the fabulously funny host for the night.

The prestigious judging panel included TV Presenter Kate Garraway, agent Lucy Ansbro of Phil McIntyre Entertainment, Jane Martinson Editor for the Women’s Page at The Guardian, BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz, Cosmopolitan Editor Louise Court, Head of Sky Comedy Lucy Lumsden and TV psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos.

The Funny Women Awards 2011 winners are:

Overall winner: Lara A King
2nd Place – Katherine Bennett

Well done also to Becky Steward who won the Race for Life Real Funny Woman Award for running dressed as a giant whoopee cushion costume, fundraising tirelessly since her mum was diagnosed with cancer.

Christine Robertson also won the Funny Women Comedy Writing Award. Ladies Live Longer won the Variety Award.

Blue Nun would like to say a very big WELL DONE to all these talented and funny women.

Jilly Goolden Blue Nun taste test!

admin — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 12:53:22 +0000

Top wine critic and TV presenter Jilly Goolden taste tests the revamped Blue Nun wines. When trying the new Blue Nun Rivaner Riesling against the previous Original white wine, she says:

“A big improvement. The bouquet is lighter, crisper and fresher. It is definitely less sweet than the original and the crisp bouquet translates to an off-dry wine which is both flowery and fruity but in a lean, European way. It would go pleasantly with most food, especially creamy dishes or chicken. With less alcohol (ten per cent volume) than many wines, it has a leaner feel than, say, Chardonnay.”
