As theatregoers compete head-to-head, with a quiz sheet and pencil in one hand – and a selection of damn fine drinks in the other, Ben McFarland and Tom Sandham lead them gently on an illuminating, intoxicating and hilarious exploration of alcohol’s influence on every aspect of humanity – from love and sex to language, history, religion, music anthropology and more.

Ben said: “It’s as funny as it is fascinating, and it’s really funny,” said Ben. “You’ll laugh a lot, you’ll learn loads, everyone enjoys five first-class drinks and even if you’re a bit thick, you can still win the quiz.”
“You guys are so lucky,” said Tom. “Yet again, we’re giving you some great gear this year. If you were to buy Budweiser Budvar, Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva Rum, Black Cow Vodka, Lost Explorer Mezcal & The London Essence Grapefruit Soda in a bar, it’d cost you more than £25 and you wouldn’t get to hang out with the hardest working beefcakes in drinks-related comedy theatre”.
“THERE’S NO MORE DISCERNING WAY TO FALL OFF THE WAGON” TIME OUT
