In 2020, Brady and fellow comedian Alison Spittle started a podcast for the BBC called Wheel of Misfortune, which is based on the Wheel of Fortune. In late 2021, Brady co-presented the Dave travelogue British as Folk alongside fellow comedians Ivo Graham and Darren Harriott.
In January 2022, Fern Brady began a 25-date tour of her new show, “Autistic Bikini Queen”.
“Wow wow wow, THANK YOU everyone who bought tickets and has come to shows so far! This has been by far the hardest show to write. I want to say that’s because I wrote a profoundly moving and at times poignant show about autism as that is more dignified than saying I had terrible stage fright after lockdown and this made it harder to write jokes about jobbies and cum and willies and that. But I did it. I overcame my fears and now back to joking about willies like lockdown never happened.”
