Come and take part in the most giving event of the Birmingham Comedy Festival. You’ll make your way up Kings Heath High Street, stopping in every one of the 10 Charity Shops – purchasing an item of clothing in each and then donning it for the rest of the crawl. Then we go to the pub. Expect to be dressed completely differently by the end of the crawl.
Bring friends and money. … Oh and a theme. Sometimes people like to have a theme.
Meet in the Poundstretcher car park at the bottom end of the High Street at 2.

“ the opening titles of Childrens’ ITV ‘classic’ Woof! (plot: boy turns into dog at inopportune moments — Billy’s Boots with more fleas) are set in luscious King’s Heath. The dog wanders down the High Street and surprises a vicar who’s hanging around the toilets on the corner of Vicarage Road. Also the setting for this classic bit of filming.

This place closed a matter of months ago and at first it looked like a total fortress but luckly for you, i was passing the other day and what do you know, i spotted a way inside..
You wouldnt know it had ever closed!
Short haired Ginger and White neutered male cat 5 years old. Average sized head, large- bulbous body. Mostly Ginger with white chest and paws and lower face. Responds to Leo, and sometimes Fatboy. Last seen on Monday night - 19th July - towards the back of Heathfield Road. Leo was spooked by a strange dog, but it is highly unusual for him not to have returned. We haven’t really thought about rewards but we are desperate to have him home and will discuss this if you have any information or sightings of him.
