I love Felicity Ward. Her comedy is smart, funny and about as self-effacing as you will ever come across. A lot of this comes from her brutal honesty. In the past she has discussed having Chrones disease, her family and Aussie outer suburban childhood.

With her latest fringe show, Honestly some of it revolves around a recently diagnosed anxiety condition. While some would take this news badly, disappearing into their shell, Felicity uses it for fantastic comedic ammunition. Her material is excellently written and her delivery one of the warmest and likable of any you could wish to see. She also excels at rolling with the punches, and audience interaction. Nothing seems to phase the pocket rocket. From giving an I.T. guy a rock star welcome, to teaching three month old Patrick some terms and activities he may always regret (seriously who takes a baby to a comedy show? Call child services), Felicity Ward is a complete joy from go to whoa. There are some other cool things, but I’m not going to tell you what they are because you should go and sample them for yourselves, because it’s a great show. Honestly.
