George Lewis - ‘I Was A Walking Vineyard’

Sketch comic, the lovely George Lewis, has now built his dream pub (see the previous episode for that), so now it’s time for head into even more that will round off the experience of walking into The Stumbling Turkey.


There’s some Oasis oneupmanship, talk of strapping wine to oneself and a very observant thing for George to bar from his pub. Plus there’s a quiz that parents will thrive at.


George is @georgelewiscom on Instagram, and is touring his stand up show throughout autumn and into the new year. But tickets are sparse!

  • Reverend Kate Bottley - The Jesus Arms

    56:54|
    Do Reverends and pubs go together? This week's guest answers this question with an emphatic yes, as The Moon Under Water opens its doors to its very first member of the church, Reverend Kate Bottley. Kate talks about the deep links between priest and pub. She reveals how she once cancelled evening church services to host a pub quiz, and spills the communion wine on what priests use for communion wine. There's also talk of consecrating jägerbombs, trying out coffins at trade shows, and monks bringing cases of beer to Kate's door. A reminder that The Moon Under Water will now be serving up guest episodes in one helping; think of it as one stronger pint as opposed to two halves.
