Cheeky and irrepressible, a very enjoyable show for young and old.

Nicky is relaxed and down to earth and gently endears herself to the audience but there is still a nice little bite to the humour.

Her comic timing is excellent as you’d expect from a comedian with her experience and the punchlines are delivered with such casual aplomb that they still made you laugh even on those (few) occasions when you could anticipate what was coming.

She’s from ‘Ull (Kingston upon Hull in East Yorkshire) and the way she tells it being here is quite a step up. Relatively new to Australia, Nicky still seems to be delighting in the novelty of the stuff we do and say in her adopted country.

Her stories take us through a few of her experiences including chavs v bogans, the bizarre priorities of border control and even some technical information about her uterus.

There’s a quirky soundtrack and also an entertaining quiz covering a few elements of Ocker culture - with a real prize.

Early on Nicky asked us all to write down an achievement (and seal it away for later), and then she proceeded to demonstrate one of her achievements – mastery of the spoons.

It’s a new show and a couple of the gags are still being honed but that’s ok as it gives the performance that bit of edgy unpredictability.

Why Fancy Pants? For most of the show I was sure it was the brightly coloured beach pants she was strolling around in. I was wrong. Stick with it – almost all is revealed in a titillating denouement.

So, just think of your favourite Aunty, the one you’d like to receive a big warm hug from, and then imagine her telling jokes. That’s Nicky Wilkinson.
