An Idiot’s Guide to Wine

An Idiot's Guide to Wine is a stand-up comedy outing in Leeds that pairs live comedy with a guided tasting of five wines, performed in English at PROJECT HOUSE.

This outing combines stand-up comedy with a tasting of five different wines, each with its own distinct flavour. The comedy is performed live by a local comedian, and the material was written by Merrick Watts, who holds a WSET Level 3 qualification from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust. The performance is delivered in English.

The running time is about seventy minutes, during which the five wines are tasted in turn. Drinking alcohol is optional, and non-alcoholic drinks can be bought separately, as they are not covered by the ticket. Guests are asked not to film the performance, as the comedy is meant to be enjoyed live rather than through a screen.

The outing suits couples, groups of friends and people attending on their own. It takes place at PROJECT HOUSE, a Leeds venue that hosts concerts and shows, and the venue is wheelchair accessible.
