Glee Club (comedy club)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Glee Club is a chain of comedy venues in the UK.

The first Glee Club was opened by Mark Tughan in Birmingham's Chinese Quarter in 1994,[1] the first dedicated comedy club to open in the United Kingdom outside London.[2]

Refurbished in 2001 the Birmingham venue has two event spaces: a 480-seat main auditorium and a 180 seat studio theatre.[1]

A second branch opened in Cardiff in 2001 and is located in the Mermaid Quay development in Cardiff Bay.[3] ITV Wales broadcast a series of eight stand up shows from the venue in 2006.[4]
