FUN! With Barbara Nice!
Posted on Sep 30, 2024With her over-60s bus pass tucked safely into her bestest handbag, the nation’s favourite housewife will be bringing her live show FUN! With Barbara Nice to Number 8 on Friday 15 November, 7.30pm.
Hilarious and uplifting, this show from the tip-top Queen of Comedy is the perfect antidote to doom and gloom. If you’re in need of a comedy pick-me-up Barbara’s your woman – like your favourite aunt at a family wedding she’ll get you going with her unique comic insights and her celebrations of daily life. Her husband knows nothing of her burgeoning comedy career – he thinks she’s either at bingo or dog sitting.
Having supported comedians Johnny Vegas and Peter Kay on tour in the past, Barbara Nice is a circuit headline act in her own right, as well as being one of the most experienced comperes in the country. In a smash hit audition for ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent in 2019, Barbara wowed the judges with her humour and eccentric style, which saw her reach the semi-finals.
Barbara Nice is the comedy creation of Janice Connolly BEM. Like Barbara, Janice is twinned with Stockport and Kings Heath, Birmingham. Janice’s TV credits include playing God-fearing barmaid Holy Mary in Phoenix Nights; Coronation Street; and Guz Khan’s Man Like Mobeen. Her popular radio sitcom Barbara Nice was a BBC Radio 2 comedy commission. Live theatre includes Tartuffe and Anita and Me at Birmingham Rep, and Panto with Lily Savage in Manchester and Bristol. Janice was the North West Comedy Awards Legend Award winner in 2024.
