My name is Harvey Hawkins and I have recently set up a dedicated comedy club in Coleshill which will be held at the Town Hall and has it’s launch night set for Friday 23rd September.

Here is a little bit about my background and plans for the club:

I am a local comedian myself (well local-ish, from Balsall Common). 

In 2015 I started comedy as a hobby which somehow snowballed out of control and in 2018 I became a full time comic travelling all over the country doing gigs. 

I couldn’t believe how many brilliant comedians there were on the circuit so I decided to bring some of the best ones to my boyhood village of Balsall Common and put on a comedy night for the locals. This has become a regular thing (three times a year) and every event sells out in advance to a regular audience. I have then created the same thing in areas like Kenilworth and Southam and now I want to bring these great nights to Coleshill with the creation of “Coleshill Comedy Club”

Our launch night is on 23rd September and will be held at the Town Hall. If it is successful then we hope to do 3 shows a year with varying line-ups made up of top circuit comedians and even TV acts (I work with acts that have appeared on Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, QI, Royal Variety Performance and more).

Tickets are priced very cheaply at £12 (compared to seeing the same acts at the Glee Club in Birmingham which is £25 at the weekend) because this is a community event and we want to bring affordable, fun nights for the town to look forward to. 

We have just set up a facebook page which lists details of the launch night and we really want to make this a special thing for Coleshill.

Here is the link to our facebook page and if the launch of the club was something you were prepared to feature I can send over high res images of the comedians / whatever you may need. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082859905195.
