What is An Idiot’s Guide to Wine
It’s a unique show that fuses stand-up comedy with a wine tasting. Over 70 minutes, a local comedian—whose name remains a surprise—guides the audience through six different wines, pairing each sip with monologues inspired by the world of wine. The format, created by Australian comedian Merrick Watts (the only comedian in the world with Level 3 certification from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust), avoids the formalities of a traditional tasting: here, the focus is on laughing, learning without pretence, and enjoying a relaxed experience.
Programme and duration
The show includes:
- A stand-up comedy routine in Spanish, tailored to the Valencian audience.
- A tasting of six different wines, each with its own story and flavour profile.
- A laid-back atmosphere, perfect for attending as a couple, with friends, or even solo.
The doors at Casino Cirsa Valencia open 30 minutes before the start, and entry is not permitted once the show has begun. The total duration is 70 minutes, with no interval.
