Fun! with Barbara Nice

Barbara Nice is a loveable force of nature. 

Hilarious and uplifting, she’s the perfect antidote to doom and gloom. If you’re in need of a comedy pick-me-up, Barbara’s your woman. Like your favourite aunt at a family wedding, she’ll get you going with her unique comic insights and her celebrations of daily life. 

Having supported comedians Johnny Vegas and Peter Kay on tour in the past, Barbara Nice is a headline act in her own right and one of the most experienced comperes in the country. 

In a smash hit audition for ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent in 2019, Barbara wowed the judges with her humour and eccentric style, which saw her reach the semi-finals. 

"She’s on her way to comedy stardom" The Times 

"The funniest thing we’ve seen" The Guardian
