BARBARA NICE
As hilarious as it is possible to get '' The Scotsman
Mrs Barbara Nice is the comedy creation of Janice Connolly. Barbara is your average Stockport housewife who's given up the domestic bliss of Tupperware and Poundstretcher shops for the unpredictabilty world of comedy. No audience is too rowdy for her to handle - she's already raised five teenagers. With the affectionate attitude of a playgoup leader at a wild Iggy Pop concert, Barbara is guaranteed to warm the heart of any audience.
Having recently supported both Johnny Vegas and Peter Kay, Barbara is now a circuit headline act in her own right, as well as being one of the most experienced comperes in the country. She has also performed solo shows in Edinburgh (Stand and Guilded Balloon), Brighton (Komedia and Pavilion Theatre) and Manchester(The Lowry)
