Phoenix Nights actress Janice Connolly's alter-ego, the crowd-surfing housewife Mrs Barbara Nice, multitasks this Thursday by introducing Tony Law, Greg McHugh, Jamie Anderson and Martin McCallister to the Stand, before leaving to perform her solo show, an Evening With.

The show is part of the Leith Festival, which also features circuit veterans Bob Doolally and Parrot this weekend.

Mrs Barbara Nice returns to the Stand on Friday with Nick Revell, who replaces Anderson.
