Introducing your host!
8.10pm
a portly middle-aged UK visitor with bad dress sense and a tendency to tell you exactly what she is thinking whether you want to hear it or not. She no longer feels herself at family functions as she was told it was inappropriate.
In the flavour of “The Two Ronnies” and “Little Britain” this show has been described as a “Torrent of Comedy”. Mavis hardly draws breath between jokes, puns and ridiculous stories to give you time to reach for another incontinence pad, some Ventolin or maybe an angina tablet.
