Barbara Nice – Festive Special 

By Richard |

Lee Martin for Gag Reflex Presents

Star of Britain’s Got Talent, Barbara Nice is back by popular demand with her annual festive shindig complete with raffle, tombola and mince pies. Join her in a bumper bundle selection box of seasonal fun with all the trimmings. Book early to avoid disappointment.

This will make the perfect “festive do” in the company of lovable Barbara –  Mother of Five who believes in bargains and getting the most out of life – Ergonomically correct, she doesn’t drive and travels the country by National Express coach – her husband knows nothing of her burgeoning comedy career – he thinks she’s either at Bingo or dog sitting.

Barbara starred in “That Peter Kay thing” and then went on to star in both series of “Phoenix Nights” as god fearing Holy Mary.  She played Peter Kay’s mum In Coronation Street and also appeared in “Max and Paddy” – as Holy Mary.

  “You are a comedy whirlwind. Everything was funny. I felt like tonight we watched as a star was born.” – David Walliams

 “Every single word that came out of your mouth was hysterical. Genius.” – Amanda Holden

“Barbara Nice truly is the peoples’ Princess …she is a monument to triumph over adversity and a beacon to ordinary people”

Kevin’s stage charisma and poise set him head and shoulders above the previous acts’The Times
