THE BEER:
We’ve taken the juiciest elements from our current duo of Joker’s and cranked their volume up to 11. Dialling up the juicy hops and introducing more oats and wheat to give it that smooth mouthfeel the style is known for, all while keeping the strength at an easy drinking 5% ABV.
THE COMEDY:
Described by the Metro as "Fringe Heroes" and as the Fringe's "Beating Heart" by the Telegraph, Monkey Barrel Comedy's preparations for Fringe 2022 start here! Our first batch of tickets are now on-sale and Sneak Peek is your first chance to see the best acts at this year's Fringe bringing together their brand-new shows live in Edinburgh's #1 rated comedy club.
Outstanding Fringe Show award winner Liam Withnail hosts, with a different different line-up each night, featuring some of the country's top acts, award winning Fringe favourites and the very best up-and-coming talent around.
