The NZ International Comedy Festival is just around the corner, with many iconic comedians from all over the world set to appear.

Australian comedian Felicity Ward, who fans may recognise from The Office Australia, Time Bandits or The Inbetweeners, is one of the bigger international draws, with her new show ‘I Wish I Could Come Out of My Shell’.
