Alex Ward is a Queensland expat with the kind of charm that makes audiences feel instantly at ease. Known for her whip-smart punchlines and dry yet warm delivery – something she credits to growing up through droughts.

A regular panellist on Network Ten’s Have You Been Paying Attention?, Alex has become a fan favourite for her ability to walk the line between humour and honesty, blending personal stories with sharp observations that hit exactly right.

Beyond the panel, Alex is a sought-after comedy writer. Her credits include ABC’s The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, Network Ten’s Big Brother, ABC’s Monday’s Experts, and Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont-Spelling Bee – proving she’s as funny behind the scenes as she is in front of the camera.

Off screen, you’ll find Alex on Instagram @wardyaknow with her cooking show Ready Steady Wardy, where she shares culinary creations that range from inspired to questionable. Watermelon with gummy bears? She describes it as turning out “fine.”

Approachable, quick-witted, and refreshingly real, Alex Ward is one of Australia’s most exciting comedy talents.
