- COME SEE ME ON THE ROAD!
- I'm hitting the road! Am I angry at it? No, the road does not deserve to be hit...
- But that's not stopping me!
The last time I asked for your help, it was to SAVE THREE SHEETS. A year ago, we took to the streets of Los Angeles and New York to let the networks know that that our show needed to find a new home. It worked! And now we're on FLN.
I need your help again. I'm going on the road with my DRINKING MADE EASY tour. I'll be hitting a bunch of locations around California and one in Reno, Nevada. My tour is a multi-media presentation about "drinks, drinking and being drunk". Like watching Three Sheets, you'll be laughing so much, you won't realize that you're actually learning something. At least, that's the goal. I'm so excited that Marc Ryan, my comedian friend from the Las Vegas episode, will be opening up for me. It'll be an incredible show. Oh, and tickets are $20 or less.
So, if you're in California, come out and see the show and invite your friends. It'll be fun! If you live elsewhere, tell your friends in California about the show. The best way for the show to get out there is by word-of-mouth. As always, it comes down to you guys. The tour dates and venues are listed below.
- DRINKING MADE EASY
Shooting "Three Sheets" for the last four years, talking constantly about my "job", and having completed my book about drinking around the world (which comes out next spring), I have become an accidental expert on alcohol. So, now I'm now a comedian whose head is full of generally useless factoids about drinking.
I'm going 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 producers 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 probably be drinking in the process.
Oh, but remember, I'm a comedian, so I may tell stories about what Steve McKenna does when he gets drunk, swear like a sailor, or make fun of the audience... So, feel free to drink along.
- Cheers!
