Thursday 12 March:

Felicity Ward

Felicity is a London-based comedian, actor, writer and knucklehead.

Born in a small town just a podcast north of Sydney, Australia, she started stand up in 2008...three years before being born. She is referring to herself in the third person and it’s making her very uncomfortable. Before she started stand up, she wrote and starred in The Ronnie Johns Half Hour sketch show, then had a bit of a nervo and moved to straight stand up.

She’s spoken at length in her stand up and personally about her struggles with mental health including presenting a documentary Felicity’s Mental Mission and her Netflix special for Live At The BBC series, What if there is no toilet?

Garrett Millerick

'Smart, provocative, playful and devastatingly funny' ★★★★ (Chortle)

A phenomenal stand-up comic, Garrett’s breakout television performance was on the hit US late-night talk show Conan (TBS).

The performance came off the back of his breakthrough live show Sunflower which became one of the best reviewed and most talked about shows of Edinburgh Fringe 2018. Garrett has since followed up the show with three further shows: Smile, Just Trying to Help and Never Had it So Good. All three shows transferred to London before touring the UK and have been recorded by 800 Pound Gorilla Records to stream and purchase internationally. In 2024 Garrett debuted his latest show Garrett Millerick Needs More Space at the Edinburgh Fringe which will tour nationally in the autumn.

In 2024 Garrett created, wrote and starred in his first sitcom, Do Gooders, on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. A six-part series set in the offices of a mid-level charity, the show boasted an incredible cast including Frank Skinner, Fay Ripley, Lisa McGrillis, Ahir Shah, Ania Magliano and Glenn Moore. The show received widespread critical acclaim and was named a critic’s choice in publications including The Sunday Times, The Observer, The Telegraph, The Independent, The Daily Mail, The Radio Times and Chortle. He previously created and co-hosted hit podcast Laughable with Jayde Adams and Red Richardson which was picked by the Guardian as one of the funniest podcasts to listen to during the pandemic.
