Funny Woman
It’s 1964 and girls are expected to be flirty, fabulous and fertile – they are not expected to be funny, but Barbara Parker is different. This comic drama follows Barbara (Gemma Arterton), a young woman working in a Blackpool rock factory who sets off for London without a plan, but with a dream.
She embarks on a mission to reinvent herself and find her voice in the male-dominated world of the 1960s sitcom. However, the road to stardom is paved with banana skins and she suffers many a pratfall before she achieves her goal.
Funny Woman is streaming on Sky Max with Now.
