What a fun show! I had a slight last minute panic would this show just be making fun of people like me (who runs a wine club)? Because that would get old fast. I'm happy to report it wasn't!! It was an hour of laughs and a genuine good time! The guys are pros at banter and improv and bouncing off the audience. 100% recommend. Can't wait to see them back in town in the autumn.

We had a great time - the guys really know how to react to the audience - a real skill. Great wine insights too from Niina. Very funny. Highly recommended

Brilliant and far exceeded my expectations, really funny and a great concept. Oh and very much enjoyed the lovely wines, thanks to Murray at Black Grape for the expert wine chat.

Joking around with 2 guys setting up the vibe and Murray from The Black Grape on Canongate (get the plug in again!) as the wine expert. In fairness Murray should have his own comedy show!

5 glasses of wine to sample and some laughs, really enjoyed it.

A brilliant show - intoxicating both with the wine and the wonderful hosts. Although not a great wine drinker myself, I loved every single minute of this. It is so very funny and the atmosphere they created in the room was lovely (and I learned quite a bit about wine as well). I’m not sure there are any tickets left but, if there are, grab them!

Great concept for a show well executed by two very funny comedians. Five new wines to sample as a non wine drinker was interesting and i now know what an orange wine is. The two comedians have another show on which i will attend as they were both excellent. Well worth the time and money.

Had a wonderful time at this show today! The aim is to demystify wine tasting (helped by some special bells that I guarantee you'll be tempted to buy afterwards) and have a good laugh at the same time. Our hosts were hilarious and had the audience laughing and singing along in no time. Amongst all the jokes were 5 wines to be sampled, with tasting notes by an actual wine expert (Niina from Smith & Gertrude). Comedy and wine - a great combination! Highly recommend.

This was great fun, with the audience enjoying five wine tastings - a really tasty and interesting range - personally poured by the comedian hosts, and a local wine expert (Murray from the Black Grape) guiding us through what we were drinking. There was a fantastic buzz in the intimate room, with everyone around cabaret tables and, best of all, real wine glasses!
