Following yet another sell out, comedy returns to Tyldesley - featuring a star-studded line up, headlined by PHOENIX NIGHTS LEGEND Barbara Nice! 😂😂😂

BARBARA NICE

Barbara Nice is the overenthusiastic housewife alter-ego of award-winning comedian Janice, who was discovered by legendary comedian Peter Kay, who asked her to play Holy Mary in Phoenix Nights. She has been compared to Victoria Wood, Mrs. Merton, and Julie Walters.

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. She has also performed solo shows in Edinburgh, Brighton and Manchester.

In a smash hit audition, Barbara wowed the judges with her humour and eccentric style on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent in 2019. Her audition was such a success, the judges gave Barbara their seal of approval and she went on to the semi-finals.

She has also appeared in Coronation Street, That Peter Kay Thing, Max and Paddy’s Road To Nowhere, Thin Ice and Dead Man Weds. Her four-part series Barbara Nice was broadcast in March 2017 as part of BBC Radio 2’s Comedy Showcase.

"An enthusiastic, livewire force of nature it’s hard not to love." - Chortle

"Brilliant, life affirming comedy" - The List

Also Featuring...

LOVELL SMITH

Ex-champion bodybuilder Lovell started comedy mid 2019, after deciding modeling on that type of stage wasn’t the right platform moving forward. After only a few initial shows and months, working the circuits, Lovell won the prestigious Midlands Best New Act Award 2019. Previous winners include Joe Lycett, and Darren Harriot. So as you can see Lovell is in great company with these other well-known comedians.

With support from AMIT MISTRY and OLIVER BOWLER.

Hosted by The Laughiȩnda Comedy Club's very own Jack Kelly!
