This week, Mrs Barbara Nice is out and about celebrating the International Day of Birmingham.

She joins the colourful parade winding its way through the city centre before heading to The Old Crown, where she hosts a very special live edition of her podcast in front of an audience. It was a day full of celebrities and local legends - with appearances from Joe Lycett, Prof Carl Chinn, Mr Egg, Tat Vision, Bam Bam and even Brummie historian @randellspackman from Birmingham in Pennsylvania.

New episodes every Thursday – listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

This week on Mrs Barbara Nice and Friends, Barbara welcomes Lee Nabbs, the man behind Digbeth’s beloved independent Mockingbird Cinema.

Lee didn't pay for his parking, but he does know (maybe) who the next James Bond will be. It's one of the perks of running a cinema. Another one is interviewing cats live on stage for TikTok. It's all about embracing the chaos.

This week on Mrs Barbara Nice and Friends, Barbara welcomes the fearless and sharp Ria Lina.

You'll know her from Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and she got rave reviews for her Edinburgh set this year.

Ria explains to Barbara that she quite enjoyed lockdown times and that she spent years putting off touring (because, let’s face it, the road takes it out of you) but she’s back now with her “Riabellion” tour.

She’ll be at The Glee Club, Birmingham on Sunday 19 October 2025.
