Felicity Ward...
Known for her iconic screen roles, TV appearances and her international, multi-award winning live stand-up comedy tours, Felicity’s no-filter, authentic and hilarious attitude to life has made her a darling of critics and fans alike.
Forging a career in both Australia and the UK, Felicity can be seen across the world, this October, when she stars in the lead role of Hannah Howard, in the Australian premiere of The Office on Amazon Prime.
You can currently see her in Taika Waititi’s TV adaptation of Time Bandits for Apple TV, following on from her breakout performance in 2021’s ABC TV’s drama, Wakefield.
In Australia, Felicity has appeared on popular TV shows such as Thank God You're Here, Have You Been Paying Attention? Spicks and Specks, and The Ronnie Johns Half Hour. In the UK, she has been on Live at the Apollo and is a regular face on shows such as Roast Battle, The Stand-Up Sketch Show, The Mash Report, Russell Howard’s Good News, Alan Davis; As Yet Untitled, The John Bishop Show, and Mock the Week.
In 2015, Felicity was handpicked by the BBC for her own Live From The BBC special - the only Australian selected. In feature film, she appeared in the comedies, Any Questions For Ben? and The Inbetweeners 2. She fronted her own ABC TV documentary, Felicity's Mental Mission, and is a mental health advocate. Felicity can be heard in her own BBC Radio 4 series, Appisodes and is a regular co-host of The Guilty Feminist podcast.
On the live circuit, Felicity is a Chortle UK Club Comic of the Year nominee and has been nominated for the biggest awards in live comedy: ‘Best Comedy’ at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Adelaide Fringe; and has won ‘Best Australian Act’ at the Perth Comedy Festival and ‘Best Local Act’ at the Sydney Comedy Festival, twice.
And Felicity has performed live stand up on the biggest stages and for the biggest TV galas, from Live at the Apollo, to Just For Laughs Montreal: Access All Areas and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival TV Gala. In October this year, she will embark on her largest UK tour to date, with ‘I’m Exhausting!’
In short: she goes alright.
