Finding Our Funny Roots - Film 01

Where IS the Black Country?

It's an important question and one that you can ask a million people, and if you do, you will get a million different answers. BUT non of them will be Birmingham!

We tasked Dave Pitt from Poets, Prattlers and Pandemonialists to find out by chatting to David Williams and Graham Worton (Keeper of Geology) what they thought.

There are 4 x videos in this series that explore humour and its intrinsic role as part of the Black Country’s tradition, community and values.

Some of the UK’s most celebrated comedians hail from the region. But what is Black Country humour?

Finding Our Funny Roots is a project Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and produced by Creative Black Country.
