Liverpool Culture
Comedy: Comedy is another important part of the Liverpudlian identity and the city has produced famous comics as diverse as Jimmy Tarbuck and Paul O'Grady, otherwise known as Lilly Savage. Many of the bigger comedy acts perform in the large theatres but some of the city's up-and-coming talent can be caught at the Rawhide Comedy Club (tel: 0870 787 1866; website: www.royalcourtliverpool.co.uk/rawhide) located on Roe Street, close to Lime Street train station.
Film: For quieter nights, there is no shortage of cinemas in the city; for mainstream releases take your pick from the Odeon (tel: 0871 224 4007; www.odeon.co.uk) on London Road, or Cineworld (UGC) (tel: 0871 200 2000; website: www.cineworld.co.uk) on Montrose Way in the Edge Lane Retail Park slightly out of town. For art house releases, try the Picturehouse inside the city's excellent FACT (tel: (0151) 707 4450 or 0871 704 2063 for tickets; website: www.fact.co.uk), multi-media arts centre that is dedicated to film, art and creative technology.
