Fosters Highlight Comedy Club Birmingham- Last weekend before my mum leaves, and this is where I choose to go - husband a bit surprised but, for the price of a kgb deals voucher decided to give it a try. My first to one of these things, he warned me it was mainly stag/hen groups and very smutty and tripadvisor reviews weren't great... Nevertheless, off we went to Broad Street, its easy to find, few minutes from the Solomon Cutler (?), walked in, our voucher bit of a mess, had to prebook etc, but very helpful manager Steven sorted it out in a few mins and gave us a table on our own at the side. Could see the stage reasonably well.
We weren't the only people on our own, though it was mainly groups. Very attentive staff, we were asked 3 times about our order, then again thrice how did we like it, everything ok.
Had a snack and some drinks, very good and reasonably priced. Food starts at £3 for a big bucket of onion rings and max is £7 for a burger/salad/pizza. Drinks £2-4 a glass/bottle.
The show is from 8:30-10:30 with an interval. There are 4 comedians with around 20 mins each. We found the first act much funnier than the headliner, maybe his take on parenting and the simplicity of his act? Yes, all of the acts were smutty and lots of bad language etc but I found myself in splits quite a few times.
This is not Jack Dee or Omid Djalili by a long shot, but, for this price, I think is worth the money and would highly recommend it for a couple of hours of cheap comedy. Nothing lifts the mood better than laughter.
