Malt Musings: Whisky and Comedy

Sometimes it must be a right pain in the arse having booze geeks in the audience.

At the local comedy gig the compere was doing a routine on how everyone knows the Irish whiskey, and everyone knows the Scottish whisky, but no-one ever knew the Welsh whisky.

At this point the voices of Dylan and myself shouted out in unison “Penderyn” quite putting the poor man off his set for a moment.

Its almost as unfortunate as the Belgian comedian who, for his set, relied on complaining that German beer was so much better received than Belgium beer. A point that, even for comedy, I could not let stand.

Fear the booze geeks, or at least make sure you have an appropriately comedic put down.
