Thankfully, Birmingham is home to great comedic talent and one of the first places they get to…read moreshowcase this is at Jongleurs. The comedy club is located at Bliss bar on Broad Street, but there is a designated entrance. They have regular comedy nights on Fridays and Saturdays where up and coming stand-up acts perform, as well as known comedians. Their website has details of the line-up for each night. The comedy show starts at 9pm but you can get there earlier to dine at the bar. I'd recommend the falafel burger, which is divine! Their prices are average for the area, with cocktail pitchers at around £15. Once the comedy show is finished you could head up to Bliss if you fancy making a late night of it. You avoid the queues because you're already inside! Jongleurs is a great place to dine, laugh out loud and then dance the night away.

Risa is extremely popular for its student nights, and students from the different universitys in…read moreBirmingham gather here for cheap drinks and a variety of music. Risa is a big club on Broad Street, with five different rooms, each playing a different selection of music, and six different bars. Having said this, it still takes a lot of time and effort to get the attention of one of the bar staff. When it isn't a student night, the crowd is mostly 20 something locals and can sometimes get a bit rowdy. They are quite strict on the dress code there, especially with male shoes, so make sure you're wearing a proper pair and make sure that you bring your ID, no matter how old you look. Overall, a good night out, nothing amazing but still good fun.

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!

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.
