Grab a glass of local tap water, belt out 'alright Bab' at full volume, and join the fun as International Day of Birmingham returns on Wednesday 24 September 2025.

Everyone is invited to celebrate this annual tribute to the historic alliance of Birminghams, championed by award-winning Brummie comedian Joe Lycett.

IDOB celebrations take place at different venues and locations across the city. This year’s programme features Joe Lycett, Prof Carl Chinn MBE, Trevor Beattie, Marc Silk, Janice Connolly, Mr Egg, Tat Vision & Bam Bam, plus plenty more lined up.

The celebrations will close with a headline event at The Old Rep with Professor Carl Chinn MBE hosting a Brummie double bill with Telly Savalas Looks at Birmingham and Joe Lycett’s United States of Birmingham, followed by a Q&A with Joe Lycett, director Nicola Silk, and historian Randell H Spackman.
