Solihull Arts Complex

Funny to The Core is a monthly comedy club at The Core, bringing the best and funniest UK comedy talent to Solihull.

Headlining the show is Milton Jones who can be seen regularly on Mock the Week and stars in the other big television shows such as Live at the Apollo, Dave’s One Night Stand and Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled. He co-wrote and starred in his sitcom pilot House of Rooms for Channel 4.

Milton’s live shows are a mainstay of UK live comedy with his tours Lion Whisperer, On the Road, Temple of Daft, Milton Jones is Out There and Milton Impossible all playing to well over 100,000 people. His current tour Ha!Milton Jones will again smash this figure.

Opening the show is Bethany Black! Bethany is a comedian, actor and writer.  She has been performing for over 20 years and has supported many acts on tour including Joe Lycett and Paul Sinha. Blessed with a sharp tongue and a desire to overshare she's been critically acclaimed for her personal, confessional style of comedy.  Just as comfortable performing in a small room as in a stadium she has travelled the world and is a regular at some of the biggest clubs in the UK. She has had leading roles in television shows such as 'Cucumber', 'Banana' and 'Tofu' by Russell T Davies for Channel 4 for which she has won awards, she was also a guest star in 'Doctor Who' and played one of the series baddies in 'No Offence'.

With the brilliant Elaine Fellows! Elaine is one of the brightest new comics on the circuit. Originally from Southport, Elaine’s life is held together by two things: sugar and lies. Neither of which is good for you. Elaine has recently been tour support for Colin Hoult’s Death of Anna Mann Tour. She was the runner-up in Hastings Newcomer of the Year 2022 and a finalist in Brighton New Comedian of the Year 2021. 

“Appealingly natural. Original yet relatable material” (Chortle)

Hosted by the brilliant Harry Jenkins! A born and bred Brummie, Harry is a talented rising star of the UK comedy circuit. Known for his dry, irreverent, deadpan take on everyday life, in just two years since his first gig, Harry has quickly moved through the ranks and has been earmarked as one to watch on the circuit.
