Kinetic squirrel of fun

-

0 Felicity Ward delivers a nutty show

to make a room howl with laughter.

Newly married, to a Greek Londoner, she’s spicing up her marriage by laughing at his relatives’ names. She has a new mother-in-law who shows her love through food and, in the course of living with the relatives, thinks she might have discovered the funniest noise in the world.

Although she’s happy, there

is not a hint of smug. Ward’s inherent anarchic nuttiness still colours every situation she finds herself in. She’s also wild enough to push every laugh as far as she can.

At the end she shouts out a list of female comics. “All sold out. You can’t get a ticket to see a woman in Edinburgh. How great is that?”
