Easy Star All-Stars POSTPONED

We have just been informed by the band’s agent that 5 of the musicians have missed their flight from New York (due to a traffic accident near the airport).

As a result they have asked if their Birmingham show could be rescheduled for MONDAY 25TH OCTOBER.  We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused but tonight’s performance would be impossible without half of the band.

All tickets will be valid for the rescheduled performance and full refunds will be made to anyone who is unable to make this date.

Once again, apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

Birmingham Comedy Festival presents: The XXXX Comedy Cabaret

With Ben Davids, Lee Grant, Phil McCullough, Adam Chivers, Ryan Gough and MC James Cook. Twenty years ago, The XXXX Comedy Cabaret was huge at The Hare and Hounds and compered by one Frank Skinner. Now it’s back, though sadly without Frank! However, the ethos is the same, and recognising the amazing amount of comedy talent that is emerging from Birmingham and the West Midlands is at the heart of this monthly club. Four of the brightest talents that the area has to offer will be performing alongside circuit regulars James Cook and Ryan Gough. These guys have big comedy futures, so come and see them now, before they follow in Skinner’s footsteps and sell out the NIA!
