Of her show Nicky said, "It's all about putting a smile of people's faces and sending them off into the outside world with a spring in their step - I'll be combining stand-up with filmed characters and each day there'll be a top guest from the comedy circuit. I'll also be putting a brew on, so there'll be tea & biscuits all round!" This playful comedy show is one to see again and again as every show will be one of a kind. Come along, have a laugh and bring your friends!
