Stockport's Favourite Housewife Barbara Nice Is On Her Way To Darlington

Critically acclaimed comedy actress Janice Connoly brings her colourful creation, Barbara Nice, to Darlington on Wednesday 30 May.

Janice Connoly was spotted by Peter Kay playing her character of Barbara at The North West New Act final - a competition he had won the previous year. Other notable winners include Caroline Aherne, John Thompson and Dave Spikey.

Peter asked her to be in his new TV series 'That Peter Kay Thing' and Janice then went on to star in both series of 'Phoenix Nights' as god fearing Holy Mary. Oher TV credits include playing Peter Kay`s mother in Coronation Street, 'Max and Paddy' as Holy Mary again, Dave Spikey`s 'Dead Man Weds' as Carole and in the BBC 2 skating rink comedy 'Thin Ice'.

The character of Mrs. Barbara Nice is a much loved headline act throughout Britain. Mother of five from Stockport she 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.

Entrance price includes a complimentary raffle ticket. A playful life-affirming show including the chance to win a prize off Barbara's table. Barbara will put a smile on your face and a spring in your step with this new show about chance and luck.

Barbara Nice: Raffle is at The Hullabaloo on Wednesday 30 May at 8pm. Age guidance 14+
