Menopause: A Giggle-Filled Experience
In the heart of London, the London Hippodrome played host to an unprecedented comedy night on the last day of June 20XX. The event, "Menopause: It's a Right Laugh," was organised by Menopause Mandate, a group dedicated to revolutionising support and advice for women experiencing menopause and perimenopause.
The all-female lineup of comedians, including Jo Brand, Jenny Eclair, Nina Conti, Thanyia Moore, Jen Brister, and Davina McCall as the host, took to the stage to spread awareness, educate, and allow women to make jokes about menopause themselves. Mariella Frostrup, the chair of Menopause Mandate, was also present at the event.
The comedy show aimed to make noise about the lack of menopause information in the NHS health check offered to women over the age of 40 in the UK. It was a first for the team, who typically brainstorm, storyboard, and struggle with ideas. However, the event was a resounding success, gathering 350 celebrities, patrons, advocates, and supporters of Menopause Mandate.
The comedians for the event turned audience assumptions into their truths in a positive and inspiring way. The event inspired real action towards breaking taboos and spreading awareness about menopause. Over a quarter of women experiencing menopause are misdiagnosed by their GP, a fact that the event aimed to highlight.
The event was also used to gather supporters for Menopause Mandate's MM40+ petition, which lobbies for the inclusion of menopause information in health checks. Small acts, such as the comedy show, can contribute to making a difference in important causes.

Menopause symptoms include over 34 symptoms, with every woman experiencing them differently. These range from hot flushes and uncontrollable emotions to depression and suicidal ideation. The goal of the event was to break down taboos surrounding menopause and to highlight the truth of women's experiences.
In conclusion, "Menopause: It's a Right Laugh" was more than just a comedy night; it was a step towards normalising conversations about menopause and ensuring that women receive the support and information they need during this significant life stage.
