About This Event

The Mountebank Comedy Whisky Tasting will take place on 12 November 2026 at The Stand Comedy Club in Edinburgh. The event features comedian Daniel Downie, who will share the history and cultural significance of whisky while participants enjoy a flight of four malt whiskies from different distilling regions. This experience combines humour with education about the distilling process and the nuances of whisky.

Award winning Scottish comedian and historian of Scottish history Daniel Downie is a self-confessed whisky baw-bag! Indulge him as he delves into the fascinating and hilarious history around one of his, and Scotland’s, greatest passions, whisky. This is his show about 'drams' and 'dramas' - the two after all often go hand-in-hand! On the Mountebank Comedy Whisky Tasting you will enjoy a flight of four delicious malt whiskies, each from a different distilling region of the country and each specifically curated to highlight the depth and difference of flavour whisky can offer. You will learn about the distilling process, as well as the fascinating history of whisky and its cultural significance to Scotland and its people. This is a ‘hysterical and historical’ whisky experience led by a professional comedian and historian with a deep knowledge and passion for whisky. Slàinte! ‘A laugh-out-loud celebration of Scotland’s most iconic export – whisky. Daniel’s deep knowledge and love for whisky shines through, this is not just a show; it’s an experience that leaves you both entertained and a bit more enlightened’ – The Recs ‘In the curriculum of your Fringe visit, Daniel should be compulsory’– Scotsman 'Left me laughing, thinking, and desperate to reread a book I stuck on the shelf year ago' - Kate Copstick
