Interested in beer? Disinterested in anything other than the drinking process and laughing while you’re at it? This is the show for you. 

Beer tasting with a comedian is a consistently popular, sell out FRINGE WORLD experience and on this occasion, it’s excellently hosted by lively English-born tattoo artist slash comedian, Jon Pinder. He’s quick witted, energetic and delivers a surprising amount of facts about beer, particularly for someone who knows little other than how to consume it.

Pinder engages the audience and undoubtedly holds their attention for the entirely of the show, even while craft beer after beer is being handed through the crowd and into the hands of thirsty patrons. The energy in the room is high, strangers are suddenly friends, and the actual beer tasting becomes secondary to the comedy. 

Pinder is an enthusiast for simple humour, but it’s all the mostly inebriated audience needs. There’s a reason this show sells out quickly - it’s fun and it’s filled with laughter and of course, beer. Hop to it.
