Paradise Circus grew out of the famous, now mothballed, Birmingham: It's Not Shit that chronicled and championed the real Birmingham since 2002.
A Birmingham Miscellany, Paradise Circus is an ongoing love letter to a battered city. It writes, makes and records things about Birmingham. We have a manifesto.

"funny, profound, innovative, historic" Stewart Lee
Birmingham was the crucible of the Industrial Revolution, but it gave the World so much more… all of this.
