    Whether it be top bands or comedians, at some point in their career they have probably stopped by…read morethe Glee club. Situated inside the Arcadian, the actual door to the comedy venue is an unassuming one (although you can also get in via the much more obvious bar/patio area). I have seen Richard Herring (always a winner), Dylan Moran (a huge disappointment), David O'Doherty (so funny I had to go to the loo several times during the performance) and many other notable acts in their "intimate" rooms upstairs. Well, that's not fair - the ROOM isn't intimate, it's the seating arrangement that will make you feel like a rollmop. Ticket prices are pretty hard to beat too. It's always a great line up at the Glee and I don't believe I have paid more than £15 to see a top comedian perform live. The drinks prices are another matter, but that's to be expected in a venue. They do reasonable deals on "buckets" (bottles) and jugs of beer. The food is a reasonable selection of bar food, so don't expect a Michelin starred meal. It's perfectly serviceable to quench your hunger pre or mid show, but again, is a little pricey for what it is. Due to where it's situated, some great restaurants do pre-theatre menu's which are much more tasty and better priced. If you're looking for a top spot to see some world class comedy, check out the Glee club. It's not fancy, it's not cheap to eat and drink; but depending on your taste in comedy and comedian, you might just have ROFLtastic night.

I felt rushed eating this.... The food was well prepared. Sorry but I don't like the use of frozen brussels. There must be a reason why they are so strict, it does tend to take a shine off the evening. We we waiting for our organiser, and they arrived about 10 mins before the doors closed, but the door staff weren't very accommodating. The Comedy: Never heard of the two guests. They weren't bad, but I felt the compare was better... Our group aren't the disco types, so left at that point. If I went again, I wouldn't go as a group, and I would be selective about the acts that appeared.

    Really love this event! Upstairs at The Rose Villa Tavern once a month, on a Tuesday, you can…read moreexperience some really top quality comedy. The doors open at 8pm and it kicks of at 8.30. There are two break during the night which give you time for a toilet break and to get to the bar (good selection down stairs and sometimes that bar upstairs is open too). You definitely get value for money - there are generally 4 acts on and they can be very different. Some of them might not be your style, but I find most of them brilliant and I like the fact you don't quite know what you are getting! I have never been disappointed - well worth attending!

    Now, I can't really remember how I first came across JQ Comedy - but I'm glad I did. I love comedy…read morenights, but have been to some really awful nights in Birmingham before (where the comedians aren't advertised and you rock up and wait to see who's on), so I am so pleased to have found this night and become a regular. JQ Comedy is a monthly event held at the Rose Villa Tavern in the Jewellery Quarter. It features a compere and four comedians over the course of an evening (a usual night starts around 8:30 and runs until about 11pm with a few short breaks to get drinks) and I have never been disappointed with what I've seen. Harriet (who comperes and run the evening) is always filled with energy and a joy to behold. Her madcap style of introducing the night and the acts is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. The format is introduction - first act (about 20 minutes) - break (10 - 15 minutes), two more comedians - break (5 - 10 minutes) - main act. The breaks give you just enough time to nip to the loo, grab a drink and have a cigarette (so there is no chance of getting bored throughout the evening). We have seen stand up comedians from all around the world, Edinburgh previews, high energy skit based pieces and musical comedy. Tickets are a bargainous £5.50 for a whole evening of entertainment and the upstairs room of the RVT is cosy and the pub itself offers food (so you can grab dinner before the show) and a selection of ales (including at least one Two Towers Ale as the night is sponsored by the local brewery http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/two-towers-brewery-birmingham). Ever since my first visit in 2014, I have tried to catch as many of the shows as I can. Even if you don't love all of the comedians (there is a wide variety of styles and personalities), you will come away chuckling to yourself. My face is ALWAYS aching from smiling when I leave and I've never had a bad evening. If you haven't been yet, check out the next show, book tickets and go. You won't look back!

    The Birmingham Town Hall is a lovely and unique building is a superb example of Victorian elegance…read moreand optimism. Built as a Greek Temple (as you do) it has served to entertain for over one hundred years. Recently by lottery funding it was refurbished to its former glory in 2007. Famous composers such as Elgar and Mendelsohn have had their works premiered there, all the greats of rock n'roll have played there and films have been shot inside. It used to be the home of the C B S O until Symphony Hall was built. The decor inside is beautiful, look up at the ceiling, look along at the wonderful organ which the city organist plays for lunch time concerts at least every month. Like i said it was refurbished a few years ago so the acoustics are state of the art as well as naturally excellent depending on the entertainment. The box office is only open when there is something on but it is easy to get tickets online, by phone and from the Symphony Hall 5 minutes away. There are lifts for wheelchairs so access is good for all. Yes this is a place I have been to many times and the most recent was the TEDxBrum event. The Town Hall is also no more than 5 minutes walk from New Street train Station.

    It may look oddly like an imposing Greek temple lumped in the centre of Birmingham, but the Town…read moreHall is a sterling venue for music and comedy too if you weren't already wise to the fact. It boasts a lineup that competes with the Symphony Hall where music for the grown-ups is concerned, but this wouldn't matter if it wasn't accommodating; thankfully though, it's one of the best settings for a gig I've had the pleasure of enjoying. Once you're nestled inside the hall, either on the seated balcony tier or down on the floor which is overlooked by the stage, the atmospherics and acoustics afforded by the place are only fully appreciated when the act you've paid to see starts to play. Having caught the likes of Midlake, Marina & the Diamonds and Tim Minchin here, I have to say it's a more intimate gig-going experience than the grandiosity offered by Symphony; in fact, it's somewhere between the Symphony and Glee if you're thinking about checking out the listings. For some reason, the pipe organ at the rear of the stage makes me want to liken the place to a church - a place to worship your musical heroes, maybe! I'm so angry with myself that I missed PJ Harvey play there back in the late noughties. As a venue, the Town Hall has also hosted classical music concerts, awards evenings and 'evening with' type events with established figures from literature and the arts.
