Comedy
Laugh ‘til you cry. Then ‘til your sides hurt. Live comedy is an unbeatable night. And such laugh-out-loud evenings come thick and fast for Birmingham’s fun-loving folk. We’ve more comedy, more often and at more venues. A stream of top gagmeisters selling out our two comedy clubs as well as theatres big and small (no - not Little and Large). And a buoyant stand-up circuit thriving in pubs around town. Staying home tonight; don’t make me laugh!
The joke’s on you if Birmingham’s many comedy options don’t tickle your funny bone. Let’s start with the experts; our comedy clubs. They’re a must to bookmark. The world’s top comedians and all up-and-comers pick up the mic at the Glee Club and Jongleurs.
In the Arcadian Centre, the Glee Club welcomes hecklers and all every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Perrier Award winners and international stars form part of the four-performers-a-night formula. There’s even a disco to follow at weekends. Or hit Jongleurs’ biggest comedy club yet. This flagship venue on Broad Street is part of an all-round entertainment bonanza. As well as mirth makers from home and abroad, there’s Risa's six bars and dance areas. So when the encores are over, you can dance the night away to hits of yesteryear.
Keep an eye out at our top theatres. When those big names from the telly aren’t slaying ‘em at our comedy clubs, they’re filling the house all over Brum. We’ve also a network of comedy pubs where tomorrow’s Frank Skinner or Lenny Henry will make their mark.
