Just your typical weekend in Kings Heath…

What a blast! Thank you so much to all the visitors, performers, dancers, comedians, venues, punters, volunteers and businesses that made the weekend just gone so magical in Kings Heath 🙌 YOU are the reason this is the best neighbourhood in Birmingham!

This was a weekend filled with joy, togetherness and silliness - the things which Kings Heath do best 😉

A huge shoutout goes to @khcomedyfest and @theheathbookshop for delivering another fantastic year of Kings Heath Comedy Fest and The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever. We’re lucky to have such passionate and wonderful people locally ❤️

We cant wait to see what next year brings, but in the meantime, keep dancing, keep laughing, and keep enjoying Kings Heath!

SILLY SOPPY POST INCOMING 🥹

Yesterday i had a blast at the incredible @khcomedyfest

It’s only my second time at the fest, last year i hopped on a very last min show full of nerves and jangled my way through 10 minutes of nonsense. This year I got the opportunity to be a part of @queerasjoke alongside some absolutely brilliant acts in @its_olivia_green and @genderclown and hosted by the tour de force that is @garethtellsjokes

It was such a lovely experience, only bettered by finding a massive apple in the Kings Heath Lidl (see slide 4) that i was in awe of for basically the rest of the day. Surrounded by incredible acts, queer joy and laughter is such a blessing.

Comedy can be a bit of a lonely place sometimes. The long drives, writing bits that you have no idea if they will work, forgetting to do said bits until you scrawl the word GOOCH on your hand to remind you (just me?) and the constant low level self doubt pumping through- but yesterday was completely different. I felt at home and i feel so lucky to have been welcomed into this Midlands scene so graciously. I genuinely appreciate it so so much ♥️

Ok softlad summer over now
Heres to making more jokes about cat cafes, oodies and potentially being a nun 🙏

love and light

It’s already been a week 😱

For me, @birminghampridefestival 2026 was an important one. Not only was it the first where we actively went back to our roots, as part of Pride’s evolution, but based on feedback, last Friday’s Big Free Community Event was the most successful yet. This year saw the first ever flash mob at Birmingham Pride too. What makes it even more special was that I got to work with @just_soriah and @cripladywood to make it all happen.

From planning to booking to running the event, we put representation and diversity front and centre at every opportunity. Despite numerous challenges, we set out to create an evening that showcased home-grown talent, whether seasoned performers or those playing only their third ever gig. I was so proud to see the breadth of talent we have in the West Midlands and it’s made us determined to ensure next year’s event is even more diverse - particularly as Birmingham Pride turns 30.

Massive thank you to everyone who made this possible. From the rest of the Birmingham Pride team to the BSL interpreters, to the stage/tech team, to the volunteers and bar staff…we couldn’t do this without you 🧡🥰🧡

Our centre will be open over Birmingham Pride weekend, providing free entertainment and services. We're outside the Pride site so no wristband needed! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Sunday 24th May
We'll be joined by a few community groups, where you can find out some of what's going on in the community and get involved. Then it's our Community 'show & tell' where each group will have a limited time to 'pitch' their group to the room 🤗
PLUS there will be performances by @tristan.treble @cripladywood & @edenvoss.comedy and hosted by @queerasjoke @garethtellsjokes 🎤
