Help MPs understand misogyny in comedy

Survey now open

Comedy industry body Craft is running a survey to help the government compile an up-to-date picture of sexism in the sector.

They are seeking responses from all genders working in the industry at any level – complete the form here.

It comes after women working in live comedy told MPs yesterday how they face entrenched sexism, opaque pay practices and widespread harassment, warning that the industry’s informal structure leaves many people vulnerable. 

Results will be published at the end of the month.
