Known for her iconic screen roles, TV appearances and her international, multi-award winning live stand-up comedy tours, Felicity's no-filter, authentic and hilarious attitude to life has made her a darling of critics and fans alike.
Forging a career in both Australia and the UK, Felicity can be seen across the world, this October, when she stars in the lead role of Hannah Howard, in the Australian premiere of The Office on Amazon Prime.
You can currently see her in Taika Waititi's TV adaptation of Time Bandits for Apple TV, following on from her breakout performance in 2021's ABC TV's drama, Wakefield.
On the live circuit, Felicity is a Chortle UK Club Comic of the Year nominee and has been nominated for the biggest awards in live comedy: 'Best Comedy' at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Adelaide Fringe; and has won 'Best Australian Act' at the Perth Comedy Festival and 'Best Local Act' at the Sydney Comedy Festival, twice.
In October this year, she will embark on her largest UK tour to date, with 'I'm Exhausting!'
In short: she goes alright.
