I'M ON TOUR!
My DRINKING MADE EASY comedy show is one part education, one part comedy, and two parts kick ass-- shaken, and poured over ice. The evening is hosted by Steve McKenna and features my buddy, Marc Ryan, an amazing (albeit twisted) comedian. The show is full of surprises, including a 300 pound monkey. Whoops! I've said too much. See you at the show!

DRINKING MADE EASY
Due to my shooting of "Three Sheets" for the last four years, talking constantly about my "job", and having completed my book about drinking around the world, I have become an accidental expert on alcohol. I'm now a comedian whose head is full of generally useless factoids about drinking.
I'm on tour, across the country, to dump this information (disguised as jokes) on you. Before I started doing "Three Sheets," I appreciated alcohol - I appreciated that it gave me a buzz! But, having visited over fifty countries, talking with makers and enthusiasts of various libations, I've come to appreciate booze for what it is, how it came to be, and the traditions surrounding it, rather than just for the way it makes me feel.
Appreciating what goes into a bottle of scotch, champagne, tequila, or beer, makes you able to appreciate their nuances. I've found that learning about alcohol can actually make the drink better! I'll be performing my "DRINKING MADE EASY" tour to drop some knowledge, debunk some myths, and tell a few jokes - all so that so that you may appreciate alcohol. We'll discuss beer, wine, and spirits, and talk about their history, how they're made, and the customs surrounding them. I'll break down fermentation, distillation and inebriation. And I'll be drinking in the process.
Oh, but remember, I'm a comedian, so I may swear like a sailor, tell stories about what Steve McKenna does when he gets drunk, or make fun of the audience... So, feel free to drink along.
Cheers!
Zane
