Mrs Barbara Nice – Hiya and Higher
“A hybrid between Victoria Wood and Mrs. Merton” The Times.
“Catch her before she goes stratospheric” The Scotsman.
MRS BARBARA NICE is the comic creation of Janice Connolly – who played the cult character ‘Holy Mary’ in Channel 4 TV’s acclaimed series ‘Phoenix Nights’ which launched comedian Peter Kay to stardom.
Birmingham–based Janice has been parading her alter ego Barbara Nice for several years whilst also maintaining a busy career as an actress and director in touring and community theatre. In her younger days, she fronted several punk bands, but nowadays she’s more likely to be seen in panto in Stoke-on-Trent!
Mrs.Barbara Nice – Stockport mother of five - is worried that we are living in a world of ever diminishing friendliness where we keep our selves to ourselves, heads down afraid to catch anyone’s eye. She wants us all to stand proud, be open and look the world right in the eye – or we won’t feel the benefit!
Expect a friendly, inclusive atmosphere with home truths, great timing and unique comic insights into the human condition.
