The ever-loveable and entirely-practical Barbara returns from the Edinburgh Fringe with her practical guide to slaying the undead, 'Barbara The Vampire Slayer', including useful tips for removing those stubborn blood stains and unpleasant garlic odours.
Barbara (pictured) - alter-ego of creator Janice Connolly - is originally from Stockport but has lived in Birmingham for 25 years since moving here as a drama student at what is now the University of Central England.
As well as attracting rave reviews with her stand-up act as Barbara Nice, she has also starred as Holy Mary in the second series of Phoenix Nights, made by and starring Bolton-born Kay.
Oh and let's not forget a brief appearance in Coronation Street as Peter Kay's mum!
It's not the first time she has appeared in the Comedy Festival - and she always delivers a brilliant night of side-splitting brilliance. Don't miss it!
