Following last year’s sell-out Comedy Night, Women & Theatre are back at The Glee Club to bring you another warm, friendly and hilarious night of laughter on Wednesday 16th September from 7.30pm.

Comedy legend Barbara Nice has been driving Women & Theatre’s iconic purple van, the length and breadth of the UK, gathering a high quality line up of the Nation’s funniest women including Jo Enright, Annette Fagon and Kerry Godliman.

Described as “a hybrid between Mrs Merton and Victoria Wood” (The Times), Barbara Nice “doesn’t just blur the gap between audience and performer – she obliterates it” (Edinburgh Evening News.)

Barbara Nice is the comedy creation of Women & Theatre’s Artistic Director and founder member Janice Connolly. Janice has also been seen in Peter Kay’s award winning Phoenix Nights. Other TV credits include Max and Paddy, Thin Ice BBC, Dead Man Weds ITV and Coronation Street.

Everyone welcome!

The company creates engaging drama, which promotes the spiritual, social, physical and mental well being of the whole community. We aim to reflect the language and lives of ordinary people, giving voices to those not usually heard.

Throughout the years, Women & Theatre has held the belief that laughter is food for the soul. Within all our work there is always a healthy dollop of humour that we bring to audiences across Birmingham, the West Midlands and the UK. Securing a new van for the company will keep us reaching diverse communities and professional audiences for many years to come!

Well what a night! it was -as I overheard a passing punter say “A Triumph!”.

All the acts were superb- particularly wonderful to see local up and comer Naomi Paul on The Glee Club Stage .

The Funderpant boys (Mr. Jumpleads and Mr Funderpant himself ) were a joy .

The raffle – what can I say ! when the last ticket went to the two women who really wanted the seven and a half broad shoes and the cafetiere (the remaining two prizes ) I couln`t belief it . To me Barbara was demonstrating a natural flair for nuro-linguistic programming .
I am already in talks with Derren Brown .

The whole evening was MAGIC .

Next year The Town Hall – what do you think ???
