Popcorn Comedy is Ready for Launch


Behold the shiny poster! This week's the week that we host Popcorn Comedy at the Victoria and things are hotting up.

We're quite proud of this month's video funny-mix, with some fresh new corkers as well as a couple of favourites from the last Birmingham Popcorn. We're also really excited about what Brian Gittins and Rob Rouse have in store, and they'll be showing some of their own video content in the true Popcorn fashion. You can see more about them in our last post.... here.

As much as we loved The Electric last time, the upstairs of the Victoria is going to have a great buzz to it with a much more informal atmosphere where you can get a drink, walk/shuffle around or even have a meal before hand.

Doors are open at Thursday 25th March, 7-10pm. Tickets are £5 (£4 Concessions) and you can book them at popcornbrum.eventbrite.com, or on the door, but as there will be limited capacity pre-booked tickets will get dibs on seating.

See you there!

Brian Gittins and Rob Rouse for Popcorn

We've got our live acts for Popcorn Comedy at the Victoria and they are... Brian Gittins and Rob Rouse. Woop!

Rob Rouse is one of Britain's most respected Stand-ups gathering a long list of TV credits, and is about to embark on his new show 'My Family And The Dog That Scared Jesus'.

Roadside cafe owner, Brain Gittins has been described by Ricky Gervais as "One of the best comedy characters of the decade". With his style of anti-jokes you keep thinking he’s going to say or do something revolting but he constantly up-ends your expectations winningly. He can also be found out and about with fellow grease merchant, Angelos Epithemiou.

Popcorn's Victoria debut is Thursday 25th March from 7pm. You can get your tickets for £5 (£4 Concessions) from popcornbrum.eventbrite.com

So while we start putting some videos together for you, here's a gimpse of Rob's stand up and Brian chewing the fat with Angelos Epithemiou.
