CLOSEUP COMEDY at Herbert’s Yard with Chris Washington & More

Birmingham’s favourite mid-week laugh returns as Closeup Comedy takes over Herbert’s Yard once again — serving up the city’s sharpest stand-up, top-tier street food and plenty of pints. 🍻

This time, the lineup’s stacked with comedy heavy-hitters and rising stars guaranteed to leave your sides aching.

🎤 Lineup:

Chris Washington – Laid-back northern charm meets razor-sharp storytelling. As seen on Mock The Week and Live at the Apollo.

Sandro Ford – Fast-paced, fearless and effortlessly funny. A natural crowd-pleaser with big stage energy.

Freddy Quinne – Quick-witted host and crowd work king, keeping the laughs coming all night long.

Harry Stachini – Honest, relatable and brilliantly observant — one of the UK circuit’s fastest-rising talents.

Grab your mates, grab a drink, and settle in — because Wednesday nights don’t get funnier (or tastier) than this.
