Virtual Tour: Jonny & the Baptists Love You & Hate Covid
14 July, 8pm
Presented by Avalon Promotions
Last year, multi-award-nominated musical-comedy duo Jonny & the Baptists made a new show about love and their friendship. After a critically acclaimed Edinburgh run, they toured the show to more than thirty cities and towns across the UK. They were about to do another run of tour dates when suddenly it became impossible to leave the house and travel around… So they’re taking the show virtually on the road.
In partnership with some of the duo’s very favourite arts centres, theatres and comedy clubs, the guys will be performing the show two metres apart from each other, live from the downstairs room in their (currently shut) local pub. Each show will be performed as if from a different city and venue, via the power of live streaming.
496 Moseley Road, Balsall Heath, B12 9AH
Wed – Sat 12 – 5pm during exhibition times.
