About the Show

An Idiot's Guide to Wine is a live adult stand-up comedy show paired with a tasting of five different wine varietals from around the world. Performed by a local comedian using material written by Merrick Watts — the world's only WSET Level 3 comedian — this 70-minute show blends genuine wine education with unfiltered laughs.

Whether you're a seasoned sommelier or a total beginner, you'll giggle and gulp your way through an evening where the hardest part is not spilling your wine while laughing. Produced by Fever, written by Merrick Watts, developed by Grapes of Mirth.
