Laughing Cows Comedy Night was set up in 1998 after a London comedy promoter inadvertently threw down the proverbial gauntlet. "We were discussing female comics and I asked why there's never more than one female comedian on the bill and he said, oh we wouldn't take that risk," she explains. O'Keefe proved to have more balls than he did and her 'risk' ran, full to capacity in London, for two and half years. Hazel O'Keefe and various comedy partners run the nights, and the idea is built on O'Keefe's original experience running an all-woman night in London. November 2004 saw the spectacular opening of Manchester's first, all-female line up of comedy. The opening night attracted over 200 people to enjoy the 'Laughing Cows Comedy show'. This popularity has continued over the three years the show has been running, which led to a change of venue after 18 months to Manchester’s acclaimed Frog and Bucket comedy venue, to accommodate the excess of punters at each of the monthly shows. "The comedy scene is so doused in testosterone that it's almost capable of growing a goatee beard and sideburns. Female comedians have been fighting to exhibit their talents and prove their quality over the years", and we’re here to help redress the balance.
