Funny Cow
Set in the working men's clubs of 1970s and 1980s Northern England, Funny Cow is a tough drama which follows its female protagonist - whose name we pointedly never learn - as she attempts to navigate her way through a chauvinistic comedy circuit. The film explores her formative experiences throughout her upbringing, including family life, incidents of bullying and abusive relationships, channelling these incidents into her performances, complete with a soundtrack from Richard Hawley.
