About this Event
Join us for a compelling talk by Dr. Laura Minor, exploring how working-class women are reshaping British television comedy. Through shows like Alma’s Not Normal, Hullraisers, and This Country, working-class women are turning the lived experience into cultural influence—challenging middle-class dominance and redefining who gets to tell stories on screen.
Drawing on ideas of cultural capital and media power, Laura Minor examines how these creators navigate commissioning processes, sitcom aesthetics, and cross-platform advocacy to claim their place in elite media institutions.
Explore how comedy becomes a powerful site of resistance, where marginalised voices disrupt hierarchies and transform the landscape of British cultural production.
