Felicity Ward: I Wish I Could Come Out Of My Shell at Cab Vol 1 @ Monkey Barrell

For the first time since her Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination in 2018, one of the Fringe’s most loved and critically acclaimed comics is finally back for the final two weeks of the festival.

Following her recent divorce and doing Dancing With The Stars, Felicity is back in the game more than she’s ever been before – that’s right kids, this show is about sexual liberation, the chokehold of the foxtrot and the best year of her life! Dating men, dating women, dating most of London… Felicity finds the humour as only she can in the identity crises of millennial men, the lies we were told about being undesirable after 40, and how Dancing With The Stars rewired her brain and temporarily cured her mental illness. This is a celebration of life after 40 and her most joyful show to date.

In demand with Australian TV of late, Felicity recently starred as boss Hannah Howard in The Office Australia before going on to be part of last year’s Dancing With The Stars. An advocate of mental health awareness (she’s spoken at length both personally and in her stand up about her own struggles, including presenting a documentary Felicity’s Mental Mission and her Netflix special for Live from the BBC series: What If There Is No Toilet?), she reflects upon how doing this show has had a positive effect on her mental health.
