Listen "Episode 22: Felicity Ward"
Episode Synopsis
pplpod Episode 22 dives into Felicity Ward’s high-voltage comedy—razor timing, joyful ranting, and the art of turning panic into punchlines. We trace her rise from Australia’s club circuit and festival breakouts to UK TV staples (Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week) and a global touring act with critically acclaimed hours. We unpack the craft: autobiographical honesty without self-pity, precision tagging, and crowd rapport that feels like a late-night phone call with your funniest friend. Then to screen: sketch, radio, and leading The Office (Australia)—how a stand-up voice adapts to character work without losing its bite. Mental health advocacy, new-parent material, and the long game of staying funny when life keeps changing—this is Felicity Ward, up close and in motion.
