For May Half Term Loff Out Loud! is coming to the Black Country Living Museum where you are invited to clown around with the historic characters as you discover how Black Country folk stayed playful in the past and Funny Roots is getting involved.

Early in 2019 we advertised a new temporary role for an Assistant Producer for Funny Things Festival. The role was built into the project from the learning of the first event alongside an understanding that you can’t be in the same place at the same time. There was a great response to the role and after a round of interviews, it was Paige that shined for the panel. Here Paige tells us about the experience…

The sun is shining the weather is sweet... well actually it wasn't for the first day of #FunnyThings2019 so we had to take ALL of our lovely, colourful and funny acts indoors.

What a brilliant time we had at Funny Things this year.

Returning next month for a week-long celebration of rib-tickling stand-up, theatre, workshops, street performance, film and family events, Funny Things, produced by Creative Black Country is back from the 26th October to the 2nd November.

Dave Pitt of Poets, Prattlers, and Pandemonialists meets Rosalind Argo of Creative Black Country to talk about the start of our new National Heritage Lottery Funded project Finding Our Funny Roots.

With April Fools Day on a Monday this year we couldn’t resist putting the call out to have a rib-tickling start to the week so we want you to help us out by dressing up and sending us your silliest picture that we can pop on social media to share.

Wolverhampton’s comedy festival makes its return in 2019 to bring giggles, guffaws and lols to a venue near you - and they are looking for your help.
