The Thinking Drinker’s Guide to Alcohol seemed like an
obvious Fringe event to check out for the Inverie Village Hall audience; it’s
certainly most Knoyds' favourite
pastime. We’ve not many children to
entertain here, so worth a punt on an adult show.
It’s a two man comedy show, a few props, costume changes,
dry ice, bit of audience participation, two volunteers called. Easy to put on in any Village Hall, and an
entertaining night out for all (well, over 18’s that is). It was a good gig, and yes, certainly
recommended.
The hour long show takes us through a history of imbibing,
along with a jaunt into philosophy, geography, and economics. Comedy “Infotainment” is the buzz word. Some groaningly awful puns too. The
motto of the sketch is “Drink less but drink better” and to encourage us along
the way are free samples handed out for good example.
Starting with a bottle each of Bishops Finger Kentish Strong
Ale, and then, to illustrate the tales, follow small shots of Jagermeister, Angostura 1919 Rum,
Tangueray No Ten Gin, Pernod Absinthe, and finally Belvedere Pink Grapefruit.
I’m sure the audience laughed louder and louder as the show
went on, and we all left with a warm glow :)
