Having seen Felicity Ward live at the Edinburgh Fringe 2011, just with a sample of her material, I endeavored to check out her show and give her some support after enjoying the little I'd seen of her.
This woman is very funny and also mixes in the darkness in a way that keeps the audience laughing while she goes off on self-loathing tangents, sometimes in the middle of a song.
A straight-talking, wry Australian comedienne, Felicity Ward might make some members of her audience uncomfortable but she gets away with it, she does everything with a twinkle in her eye and a a smile that comes at the end of even her darkest punchlines.
The show doesn't feel as tight and polished as other stand up shows I've seen but that's all part of the charm. I really like Felicity Ward and I look forward to seeing how she does a few years down the line once a few wrinkles have been ironed out (no, that is not a joke about age, sheesh!).
