THERE will be plenty of laughs guaranteed when this year’s Stand-Up For Women takes place at Bromsgrove’s Artrix to celebrate International Women’s Day.
The line-up at 8pm on February 26 includes Barbara Nice, star of Britain’s Got Talent and the alter ego of Holy Mary from Peter Kay’s ‘Phoenix Nights’.
She wowed the judges and audiences on last year’s BGT and was billed by The Times as ‘a hybrid between Victoria Wood and Mrs Merton’.
Performing alongside Barbara is Mercedes Benson who has been praised for her ‘great characterisation’ and ‘killer lines’ and Kate McCabe who Manchester Wire described as ‘Just a goddamn delight’.
The evening is hosted by MY Comedy’s resident MC and Artrix audience favourite Maureen Younger.
Maureen said: “I love that Stand-Up For Women has become an annual tradition at Artrix.
“It’s always a fun night – the audience is a joy to perform to and the theatre a joy to perform in.
“And I get to gig with incredibly funny women including the one and only Barbara Nice, possibly the most life-affirming act you’ll ever see.”
Audiences are promised an evening of riotous fun from a group of super talented comedians.
Tickets for the show are £15 (£13 for concessions), available at artrix.co.uk or by calling 01527 577330.
The show is recommended for audiences aged 16 and over.
