The Century Theatre has Box of Frogs on Sunday night.

Box of Frogs is Birmingham's award-winning Improv Group, and brings you a fabulous night of improvised comedy.

The multi-talented and quick-witted Box of Frogs players conjure up hilarious spontaneous songs, sketches and scenes on the spur of the moment, all based on suggestions from the audience.

Box of Frogs have been amusing audiences in Birmingham and far beyond for nigh on 15 years. Join us for a night of improv joy!

The Central Bar and Venue in Ibstock hosts the West Coast Eagles on Saturday.

The music of the Eagles is timeless and has influenced many artists over the past 45 years.

It does not easily fit into any category, yet within it, you can hear a subtle blend of pop, rock, country and a style all of their own.

To contemplate a tribute show to a band of this calibre and with such a legacy of songs is a daunting task indeed.

Yet this is exactly what West Coast Eagles have done. Formed in 2014 the band have built a reputation for superb precision musicianship and layered with superb vocal harmonies.

Staying in Ibstock, The Palace Theatre hosts a night of the music of the great Eddie Cochran.

The Goldstar Band will be celebrating the rock n roll icon, from the Cochran Brothers era through to C'Mon Everybody. Rock n Roll at its best! Cherished memories of days gone by.
