What it’s like
Stand-up comedy nights in Birmingham, but this one's strictly for older teens, not a kids' venue.
This is a comedy club, not a family attraction, and the age policy makes that clear straight away. The minimum age is 14, and anyone under 16 has to carry photo ID and stay with an adult who's got a ticket for the whole show. If your teenager looks under 25 they might get asked for ID at the door too, that's just the venue's Challenge 25 policy, nothing personal.
Tickets run from £7.50 in advance up to £14 for standard entry, with concessions and wheelchair entry at £8. Booking ahead is the sensible move since shows sell out, and if you do get a space on the door it costs more than booking online would have. Seating is allocated on the night rather than picked in advance, so a group booked together will be seated together, but you won't know exactly where until you arrive.
Food's only available at some shows, mainly Friday and Saturday night comedy and most tour dates, and you can pre-order through their system or get it at your table on the night. What you can't do is bring anything in from outside, including cake for a birthday, so don't turn up with a picnic for a 15-year-old's birthday treat. There's step-free access via a lift and a disabled toilet with a radar key, plus wheelchair spaces you'll want to book early since they're limited and go first-come first-served.
Arcadian Car Park is the nearby option with accessible parking, and it's close enough to New Street Station to walk it if you're coming in by train. This one's for the older teens in the family who fancy a proper night of stand-up, not somewhere to bring younger kids along.

Food's available at Friday and Saturday night comedy shows and most tour shows. You can pre-order online or get it at your table on the night.
Can we bring our own snacks or a birthday cake?

Is it wheelchair accessible?
There's step-free access via a lift and a disabled toilet with a radar key. Wheelchair spaces are limited and sold first-come first-served, so book early.
