Pauline Daniels
Pauline is known to most, as Britain’s No. 1 Stand up comedienne, but since 1986 Pauline has been hailed as one of the country’s finest actresses. Her first role was at the Liverpool Playhouse in “Chicago” as “Mama Morton” which was swiftly followed by “Rose” in “Gypsy”.

In 1992 she became Willy Russell’s favourite “Shirley Valentine” and has continued to play “Shirley” all over the country.
Her West End Debut came in 1999 when she played the character “Faye Bogle” who was really a parody of Mae West in the Denis King/Dick Vosburgh smash hit musical “A Saint She Ain’t”.
