An Idiot’s Guide to Wine: Comedia entre copas

A live comedy show that combines stand-up humour with a guided tasting of five wines from different parts of the world. It is performed in Spanish at Pueblo Español in Palma.

This outing splits the session between stand-up comedy and a guided tasting of five wines, each with a different flavour profile. The script is by Merrick Watts, a comedian who holds the WSET Level 3 wine qualification, and it serves as the thread that carries you from one glass to the next. It is an Australian show which, on this occasion, is performed in Spanish by a local comedian.

The session lasts about 70 minutes and takes place in the Pueblo Español complex in Palma, which also hosts concerts and shows. Drinking alcohol is optional: anyone who prefers not to drink can order soft drinks, which are charged separately from the ticket price. Recording during the performance is prohibited, and the venue has wheelchair access.

Designed for couples, groups of friends or those coming along alone, the outing combines laughter and learning about wine in a single evening. It is an option for those who want to try several varieties from different origins while following a comic thread from start to finish.
