Her first comedy show rated extremely highly with her audience.
Fiona gained international acclaim at Montreal's invitation only "Just for Laughs Comedy Festival" and at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. By 2007, Fiona's increasing international success secured her a section on "The World Stand Ups" in London putting her into the semi finals of the US production "Last Comic Standing".
