TweetHiya kids, Welcome to Barbara Nice is Havin A Piggin Lock-in.For about 26 years I have been travelling up and down the country on National Express coaches, buses and trains. It’s been a good laugh and I’ve worked with a load of belting acts and met smashing people in the audience. Now all that live entertainment has stopped overnight not just for comedy but for theatre, music gigs and more with no sign of the situation changing in the near future . Every day been feeling the same, no shape to the week, people of all ages missing and worrying about their families and pals . So I thought it would be good to put on a show for all the family on Saturday 16th May at 8:00pm for an hour with tip-top guests from the live circuit to raise money for Womens Aid and also to pay the performers and everyone else helping to make it happen. Come on kids - let’s get together and have a laugh, it’s pigging good for us!
Get some cheese and onion cobs and crisps in and your favourite tipple and let's make a Saturday night of it. Were livin la Vida lockdown! Love Barbara. x

Great show. It really brightened up our Saturday night in lockdown. The raffle was very funny. Just disappointed that apparently I was giving birth to twins and my daughter ate one! Thank you for a great night :)

Barbara Nice achieved the seemingly impossible by transferring the atmosphere of her live gigs to myriad Zoom screens. One on-screen comment, ' I don't want this to end' summed it up. Kirsty Newton was the stand-out special guest. Good value for a group watching on same screen.

Barbara Nice somehow managed to put us under her glorious fun-loving spell through the ether. Singing and dancing along, chorusing and having our own virtual raffle. So strong is her power that I lost my own items in the raffle. Can she be PM please?
