About the Show

An Idiot's Guide to Wine is a live adult stand-up comedy show paired with a wine tasting experience. Performed by a local comedian using material written by Merrick Watts — the world's only WSET Level 3 comedian — the show delivers 70 minutes of genuine stand-up comedy alongside tastings of five different wine varietals from around the world. Comedy is the central focus; the wine tasting is the pairing.

Produced by Fever and developed by Grapes of Mirth, this show is described by Fever as a "Live show — Adult stand-up comedy." Whether you're a wine expert or a complete beginner, expect big laughs and a proper stand-up set, not a dry wine lecture.
