Jongleurs Comedy Club

Thankfully, Birmingham is home to great comedic talent and one of the first places they get to showcase this is at Jongleurs.
The comedy club is located at Bliss bar on Broad Street, but there is a designated entrance. They have regular comedy nights on Fridays and Saturdays where up and coming stand-​up acts perform, as well as known comedians. Their website has details of the line-​up for each night.
The comedy show starts at 9pm but you can get there earlier to dine at the bar. I’d recommend the falafel burger, which is divine! Their prices are average for the area, with cocktail pitchers at around £15.
Once the comedy show is finished you could head up to Bliss if you fancy making a late night of it. You avoid the queues because you’re already inside! Jongleurs is a great place to dine, laugh out loud and then dance the night away.

Really enjoy it at Risa, mates private VIP birthday bash, must give the DJ a ten for playing the right Tunes drinks were reasonable and the place is overly nicely decorated, did enjoy it and would defiantly be going back

Place to go for a student night. very busy and cheap and quality music. many rooms playing different music. it is a good place to go for fun night for students.

Went to Risa on Friday night for the first time following several recommendations, and I have to say i was impressed.
The DJs were brilliant, a lot of popular RnB/​House/​electro etc, bit charty maybe, but some great remixes wtc, good set!
I was pleasantly surprised that it was quite spacious inside, and not crammed like many of its local rivals on a Friday night. Ok, the dance floor is busy, but there is plenty of seating etc in a relaxed bar area.
Downsides include the drink prices, your looking at £3.50+ for like a bottle of Corona/​WKD etc etc. But i was told you can get a student card for the place which dramatically reduces the drink prices… maybe worth looking in to?
Definitely bring your i. d though and dress smart, I witnessed some blatanlty over age blokes not been allowed in due to lack of I. d, some «too drunk». But once your passed the ‘rather selective’ bouncers thers’s a good night ahead of you!

This bar is located on broadstreet which is the busiest nightspot in Birmingham city centre. It plays a variety of different music depending on the nights that you choose to visit. The security is very picky and strict so make sure that you you dress decently, no trainers or hoodies and bring your i.d. along. This place also shows live football games. Highly recommended.

Risa is extremely popular for its student nights, and students from the different universitys in Birmingham gather here for cheap drinks and a variety of music.
Risa is a big club on Broad Street, with five different rooms, each playing a different selection of music, and six different bars. Having said this, it still takes a lot of time and effort to get the attention of one of the bar staff.
When it isn’t a student night, the crowd is mostly 20 something locals and can sometimes get a bit rowdy.
They are quite strict on the dress code there, especially with male shoes, so make sure you’re wearing a proper pair and make sure that you bring your ID, no matter how old you look.
Overall, a good night out, nothing amazing but still good fun.
