About this show
Best International Act 2025 Nominee at the NZ Comedy Festival. In 2025 Felicity Ward (Live at the Apollo,The Office - Australia) was the happiest she's been in a decade. What happened? Divorce, Bisexuality, and Dancing with the Stars. And this bonafide showpony's greatest gift is that she simply cannot shut tf up. 'Great big snorting exhortations of comic laughter' (List). 'The strongest single hour of solid jokes comes from Felicity Ward... in a rolling, ballsy, crazy show that draws near-standing ovations' * (Times).

What the reviewers said
We have captured 2 published reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
4.5 Stars. The hour passes all too quickly, she has always been a really funny comic, with absolutely oodles of energy and stage presence and this is still the case in abundance.
She lights up when she talks about her stint on reality television and it’s absolutely lovely to watch a clip of her whirling across the dancefloor at the end of the show.
— The Scotsman (3 out of 5 stars)
