I put my microphone in front of a 7 week old baby red squirrel.

The Black Country dialect has given many comedians the tools to perform some great jokes and sketches and here @DavethePitt of Poets, Prattlers and Pandemonialists finds out more.

[Funny Things @FunnyThingsBC]

So we've found out where the Black Country actually is.

We know who the key comedians are, but what is it that makes them so funny?

Is it dialect, is is sounding 'saft', or it down to the 'Black Humour' and 'Self depreciation' style?

[Funny Things @FunnyThingsBC]

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!

@DavethePitt founds out more.
