Funny Woman cast: Gemma Arterton, Tom Bateman, Arsher Ali. Funny Woman Release Date: January 7, 2024 (PBS). Funny Woman Episodes: 6. The show stars Gemma Arterton and based on Nick Hornby’s bestseller book “Funny Girl”, Funny Woman arrives on SkyShowtime in February.
Funny Woman is a United Kingdom Comedy TV Series (2024). Gemma Arterton, Tom Bateman, Arsher Ali are the main cast of Funny Woman (2024). Barbara begins her career as a clerk at a department store like Maisel and, like Maisel she moves through life in a way that is not censorious (she informs a customer she isn’t happy with the hat she’s chosen).
The story was written by multi-award-winning screenwriter Morwenna Banks, and the director was BAFTA nominee Oliver Parker. The storyline will bring back memories of Last Night in Soho, by Edgar Wright, but there isn’t any murder or paranoia in this. If Anya Taylor-Joy ever was a singer, this Gemma Arterton aspires to become a comedian. A kind of fabulous Mrs. Maisel from the 60s. The credits are in a rousing soundtrack with vibrant posters. Even Downtown, composed by Petula Clark, also plays.
Funny Woman Plot:
A young lady from Blackpool discovers her voice in the male-dominated world of 1960s comedy and is able to take London to the forefront.

The series makes use of real photos to illustrate the period by placing Gemma Arterton in them. The director is Oliver Parker, BAFTA nominated for An Ideal Husband. Funny Woman cast: Gemma Arterton, Tom Bateman, Arsher Ali. While Funny Woman has a comedic style, it is not without a lack of dramatic moments for instance, the scene where Barbara is, in her innocence is accompanied by a wealthy married man to an event and he attempts to sexually assault her.
