Felicity Ward is an Australian comedian who a fair few
comedians had recommended on Twitter. I think she's had a comedian's comedian
podcast episode too bit a while ago.
She's certainly a confident performer, very vivacious and
sometimes brash, but she's got strong form and she knows how to play the crowd.
She's particularly good at conjuring vivid and shortly grotesque comic imagery
- there was a joke about farts and shoot that particularly tickled a front row audience
member.
Her show overall mainly focuses on her recent big life
changes, namely getting married last year and no longer having to live with her
in-laws. She's got some humourous riffs along the way, particularly about the
trouble of having a large nose (her slightly darker jokes seemed to get me
best). She also gently touches on her mental health issues, but she doesn't
dwindle and she expertly crafts jokes from it.
With the energy she attacks her material, she’s certainly
busting a nut. She fits in the more conventional stand up group, but she's not
bad at it.
