Award-winning Jeremy Nicholas provides the laughs as guest speaker at Press Club

Broadcast journalist-turned-comedian Jeremy Nicholas provided the laughs when he appeared as guest speaker at a Birmingham Press Club lunch. Award-winning Jeremy, who last year enjoyed a successful 27-show run at the Edinburgh Fringe, reminisced about a career which has taken him from the Midlands – where he received a punch from legendary Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough ¬– to the BBC World Service, Channel 5 and being stadium announcer at West Ham United FC. The lunch was held at the Circle Restaurant, Birmingham Hippodrome.
