2012 #20: Felicity Ward and Hayley Ellis

Richard Herring's Edinburgh Fringe Podcast

2012 #20: Performers from the Moon - Felicity Ward and Hayley Ellis. Richard is almost better, though he's reeling from the demolition of the Time Gentleman Please pub and from not being on the comedy awards list despite not being eligible. But his guest Felicity Ward (who has only come from Australia - it's not like she travelled through space) is in a cheery mood, enjoying her run of her already award-winning show The Hedgehog Dilemma though her dilemma about hedgehogs is predictably different than Richard's. There's chat about ghosts, premonitions of death and using Koalas as cold remedies, so it gets quite scary if you're on a night shift. But Rich reveals his nerdiness about Scrabble based games and ebooks and recounts the story (not for the first time) of what he did when someone's phone went off in his show. Hayley Ellis is the stand-up. Only five more to go. You'll miss it when it's gone.
