“Laughter is the best medicine”, someone once said. This has little to do with the Glee Club, since no-one is ill, but laughter is certainly the name of the game. The Glee Club is a top class comedy club located in the heart of Birmingham, on Hurst Street. This is it’s first advantage, as it is only a few minutes walk from Birmingham New Street Station, very handy indeed. If you like stand-up, then this is the place for you, with a minimum of 3 acts per night, the best in the country, with acts such as Jasper Carrott and Jack Dee having visited in the past.

The GleeClub is situated in the centre of Birmingham's bustling city centre off Hurst Street in the Aracdian complex in the heart of Chinatown. Only five minutes from the train station (New Street) and about the same again from the majority of the bus stops.

, the Spanish Zara, Jane Norman, Office shoes, a HUGE H&M, the famous Selfridges, and many, many more, including numerous jewellery shops and restaurants (Eat and Café Rouge, (which has to be tried to be believed)). The HIGH STREET shopping in Birmingham is also brilliant, (if the Bullring and The Mail Box weren?t enough); the high street offers indoor malls including The Palisades and the Pavilions which all contain another lot of shops.
