FREE COMEDY!

Iconic Brum comedy venue The Glee Club is teaming up with us and ten of the city's favourite independent businesses to give away free comedy tickets and encourage people to discover and support the local venues that make Birmingham so special.

Launching today (August 13), The Big Glee Giveaway will see hundreds of free tickets hidden across a selection of independent cafés, restaurants, bars and shops throughout Brum, giving customers the chance to enjoy a complimentary night of live comedy while supporting local.

To be in with a chance of grabbing free tickets, comedy fans simply need to visit one of the participating venues, make a purchase and ask whether they have any Glee Club tickets available. The giveaway operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with tickets valid for selected comedy shows taking place between August 14 and September 26.

We can exclusively reveal that the locations taking part are Arch 13, Plonk, The Heath Bookshop, Hare & Hounds (Kings Heath), Grace + James, BMAG's shop, Faculty, 1000 Trades, Cherry Reds and Tiger Bites Pig.

Mark Tughan, founder of The Glee Club, said: "Independent businesses are at the heart of what makes our city so vibrant. We wanted to create a giveaway that not only rewards audiences with a great night out, but also shines a spotlight on the fantastic local businesses that deserve our support. By working together, we hope to encourage people to discover somewhere new, shop local and enjoy plenty of laughter along the way."
