CATCH UP with a comedy Christmas cracker at Worcester Arts Workshop.

Housewife Barbara Nice will be getting on the National Express Coach and leaving her unsuspecting husband once again to pursue her secret life as a stand-up comedian, complete with attitude and a hand bag.

What on earth, you may ask, is going on?

One thing’s for sure, Mr Nice won’t be able to tell you.

But the conversation is likely to range from steak pies to surgical stockings, and it’ sure to have an audience in stitches.

A spokesman said: “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. In fact, he thinks she’s either at Bingo or dog sitting.”

The spokesman added: “The malapropism spouting Stockport Housewife is a force of nature – energetically cajoling the audience to take part in her hare-brained stunts and injecting an unbeatable air of fun and excitement into the room.

“Barbara Nice had the audience in The Vaults at Worcester Arts Workshop roaring with laughter during her last visit and her Christmas Cracker is set to be yet another hilarious night out.”

Fresh from her stand-out, stand-up performance at Worcester Arts Workshop’s Launch event in November, Barbara Nice returns to the Workshop on Wednesday, December 19, at 8pm.
