Do This
Go to a Belly Laughs food and comedy night
24th - 31st January
Various venues across Birmingham
Having your spirits lifted, eating good food AND supporting one of your favourite local independent venues? It's almost too good to be true!
Comedians are not revealed until the night; it could be a household name or a local up and coming act.
There are a few shows left to choose from this month; we've got our eye on The Distillery on the 31st! 👀
