Bio: At the heart of Birmingham's Chinese Quarter you'll find one of the UK's best loved venues. The multi-award-winning Glee Club Birmingham is a legendary comedy venue and an integral part of the UK's live music scene. With two fantastic auditoriums - The Main Room and The Studio Room - Glee Club Birmingham captures the essence of what live shows should be, and you're never far from the action. International and national live music touring shows have been gracing Glee Club Birmingham for over a decade. The atmosphere is intimate and ambient, and the two auditoriums can be seated or standing to bring out the very best in a live show.
