Maria Kempinska MBE: Showing them through action and with what you can achieve
Maria Kempinska’s comedy club empire, 'Jongleurs', helped launch the careers of Fry and Laurie, Graham Norton and Frank Skinner. She left her job as an English and Drama teacher 35 years ago to follow her entrepreneurial dream, by setting up this chain of clubs, which today has 12 venues across the UK as well as hotel residencies, touring stand-up shows and global aspirations. As a woman in both the world of business and comedy, she has had to overcome many challenges, and succeeded. She says you have to live, speak and do what you are going to do, rather than talk about it – show people what you can achieve. Her love for comedy coupled with her teaching and psychotherapy experience, has also led her to create a ‘School of Comedy’ for homeless people.
