Newcastle! Birmingham! 90 minutes of live movie mayhem awaits, as Simon Brew: Film Stories Live hits town. More here.
People of Birmingham, and people of Newcastle: Film Stories is heading your way.
Simon Brew’s acclaimed movie geek live show, cunningly entitled Film Stories Live, is 90 minutes of movie mayhem, including film stories, terrible jokes, on-stage guests and money-can-buy prizes as well.
Yeah, it’s weird having to write this story about yourself. Don’t judge me. I judge myself enough.
Anyway!
On Wednesday 30th September, the show is at the Mockingbird Cinema in Birmingham, with a 7.30pm start.
Tickets for the Birmingham show can be found right here.
And then, on Thursday 1st October, in a feat of exceptional planning, it’s a four hour drive north to the Gosforth Civic Theatre in Newcastle.
Tickets for that show – and there aren’t many left – can be found here.
I’ve tried to keep a list of the films we’ve talked about on this tour thus far, and they have included: Superman, Superman III, Moana, Stalag 17, Hudson Hawk, Crash (the good one), The Devils, Rocky II, Rocky IV, Poltergeist, Howard The Duck, Masters Of The Universe, North By Northwest, The Exorcist, The Exorcist II, Event Horizon, Legal Eagles, Sneakers, Suburban Commando, The Magic Faraway Tree, Armageddon, The Offence, The Princess & The Frog, That’s Entertainment, Geostorm, Field Of Dreams… it’s a bit of a list, and growing all the time.
We go from blockbusters, to indies, to classics, and the aim is a light, fun night of movie nerdom.
Thanks to everyone who’s already caught shows this year. More are on the way in Glasgow and London in 2026, and news on both of those very shortly…
