Now
a
Glasgow
Festival
institution, the comedy pub crawl is not for the faint hearted. Join
Scott Agnew & Alan Anderson as they navigate you through
five bars. A top-class comedian in each venue, promos, free snacks and
surprises!
PLUS Free entry to the
dancin'.
Picture the
scene, around 100 hardy sober souls start off their evening in the calm,
chilled surrounds of Church on the Hill @ Battlefield Monument, where their hosts
Scott Agnew and Alan Anderson introduces them to a comedian,
they drink some, they laugh some, they drink some more.
Then repeat
five times at various hostelries around Shawlands with a different
comedian in each venue and the audience reaching varying levels of
sobriety as the pub crawlers laugh and drink themselves stupid.
Now in
previous years it has been as much fun to watch the audiences on the crawl
as it has the comedians. It’s a little like leading a squadron into
battle – you know they’re not all going to be there at the end. Are
they still standing? Are they all here? Does anyone care?
And then
there’s the reaction of the poor patrons at the bars the Stand up! Drink
up! tour visits. They were having a quiet pint and a blether. Now they
have 100 drunks to deal with and some shouty people with microphones.
And to top
off the night, just in case anyone’s peckish the comedy pub crawlers can
devour some fresh nibbles at various parts along the tour before enjoying
an evening of more drink and some dancing – if they can still stand.
We know the
Scottish Executive probably wouldn’t approve of such behaviour – in
fact, Health Minister Nicola Sturgeon is probably legislating against “this
sort of thing” now. So take the opportunity to do it while you can –
get drunk with a horde of strangers and be entertained by some of the
finest comics in the land.
