As seen on THE OFFICE Australia, Time Bandits, 7 Days and LIVE AT THE APOLLO, Felicity Ward is coming out of her shell, and she’s been doing just fine. Divorce. Bisexuality. The Paso Doble. It’s been QUITE the year. 

I WISH I COULD COME OUT OF MY SHELL is about how this bonafide showpony’s greatest gift is that she simply cannot shut tf up.  

“… if you could find space between great big snorting exhortations of comic laughter, you would surely gasp.” The List (Edinburgh) ★★★★★

“The strongest single hour of solid jokes comes from Felicity Ward…. in a rolling, ballsy, crazy show that draws near-standing ovations.” The Times ★★★★★
