As seen on Live from the BBC, Live from the Comedy Store, The Russell Howard Hour and Live at the Apollo. Fern is one of the UK's hottest comedy stars. Known for being totally unique and completely fearless, her new show will tackle sexuality, feminism, power, Brexit, Britishness, Scottishness and nationality all with her caustic wit, exceptional writing and electric stage craft. 'An astounding hour' ***** (List). Tough-talking and packed with don't-give-a-shit honesty. It finds the right balance between sincerity and side-splitting anecdotes... I was crying with laughter' ***** (Skinny).
