felicity ward: busting a nut

One of the Fringe’s favourite comedians, Felicity Ward, is hyped up, jumped up and ready to Bust a Nut on her second ever nationwide tour this autumn following amazing reviews and an Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination at this year’s festival!
In fact, she’s been busting a nut since her last tour. She got married, starred in her own Netflix special as part of the series Live From The BBC, lived with her in-laws, explored whether technology can save her from herself in her own Radio 4 series Appisodes, taken up yoga, and she regularly co-hosts the popular The Guilty Feminist Podcast.
Not only has she been raking in the critical acclaim from her various Fringe shows of late, but she recently set out to break down the stigmas around mental health and IBS in her show What If There Is No Toilet?, which she then turned into a highly successful Australian documentary Felicity’s Mental Mission (ABC1/ABC2) in 2016. She has headlined Live from the BBC on BBC2 and BBC3, starred in Josh (BBC3), appeared on Mock the Week (BBC 2), Make You Laugh Out Loud (Channel 5), Sam Delaney’s News Thing (RTUK), featured on Museum of Curiosity and David Baddiels’ Don’t Make Me Laugh (Radio 4), Ronny Chieng’s sitcom Ronny Chieng: International Student (ABC) and in Sydney's Just For Laughs Gala (The Comedy Channel, Australia). She’s opened for Katherine Ryan, Maria Bamford and Amy Schumer, all within this year, made Blaps for Channel 4, made Blaps for Channel 4, co-hosts her own podcast The Unbelievable Ashes Podcast with Andy Zaltzman, toured nationwide, was invited to the curated Sydney Festival 2017 and is soon set to appear on the upcoming series Live from the Comedy Store (Comedy Central) . And, if that’s not enough, she has been commissioned to pen her own sitcom pilot in Australia.

mark thomas: check up. our nhs @ 70
spring tour 2019
Since last August, Mark toured his 2017 sell-out Fringe show A Show That Gambles on the Future before devising and touring a whole other brand new show, Showtime From the Frontline, in which he, alongside two Palestinian comics, re-enacted their time setting up a comedy club in Jenin. The show opened to rave reviews and sell-out audiences and gave Mark just enough time to turn his attention back to the UK and to his next project, our very own National Health Service. Mark has just finished yet another fantastic Fringe where Check Up received a whole new batch of excellent reviews and another Scotsman Fringe First award to add to his collection.
Mark is 54, the NHS is 70, and the UK national average life expectancy is 84. If Mark makes it to 84, the NHS will be 100. What will they both look like?
Based on a series of interviews with leading experts in and on the NHS, residencies in hospitals and surgeries, and with theatre director Nicolas Kent, Mark uses his own demise to explore the state we’re in; what's going wrong in our NHS, how it can go right, and what the future might hold for us all.
