Barbara Nice is a loveable force of nature. Hilarious and uplifting, she’s the perfect antidote to doom and gloom and 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.
Her husband knows nothing of her burgeoning comedy career - he thinks she’s either at bingo or dog sitting.
Having supported comedians Johnny Vegas and Peter Kay on tour in the past, Barbara Nice is a circuit headline act in her own right, as well as being 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.
