Everyone’s favourite housewife, Barbara – a frumpy, friendly and funny, post-menopausal mother of five from Stockport – believes in bargains, Take a Break magazine and getting the most from life.  

This well-observed character is instantly recognisable, and likeable, drawing even the most cynical of audiences and taking them along for the ride – even if it’s her coach journey down from the North-West or her next shopping trip to her favorite Poundstretchers.

In demand on the comedy circuit, Janice Connolly has appeared with Johnny Vegas and Peter Kay, and is now wowing sell-out audiences all over the country. She returns to the Mill Studio after a complete sell-out last year in this Jubilee special!
