Bronwyn Sweeney

Bronwyn Sweeney worked in the media for almost a decade as a copywriter and brand creative, working on everything from haircare to home furnishings. When she was 29, Bronwyn’s employer paid for her to do a two-day standup comedy course – and she was smitten. She has gone from having a comedy career as a ‘bit on the side’ to divulging secrets from inside the advertising industry as part of her routine on the standup circuit.Earlier this year, Bronwyn made the Grand Final of the 2021 Funny Women Awards, finishing as runner-up in front of a live audience at the Bloomsbury Theatre, London. She impressed the judges with her high-energy performance and ‘fake American from Blackpool' routine, and describes the event as the ‘best gig of my life. Terrifying, exhilarating, life-affirming.’Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-world-as-it-should-be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
