The comedy drinking game show A Brief History of Beer moves to Saturday nights! In its third year at UNDER St. Marks, every month William Glenn and Trish Parry takes the audience on a different adventure though the beertinuum in a mission to save beer.

September 24th is the South African Heritage Day, and some say it is our birthright to drink of the golden nectar, so this month the duo will be exploring our own beer heritage both here in New York, and abroad. Expect silly song parodies like A Mule As Black As Night, a tasting of one of Philly's anti-Trump ales, the revealing of NYC's own solid brewing history, and an Amendment proposal for the protection of America's right to drink beer!

The show has been running for two years at UNDER St Marks, and has recently returned from the Canadian Fringe where the CBC News said Will and Trish were "charming, funny, and infinitely attractive as new drinking buddies." and the Orlando Sentinel just said "Are they drunk? Are we? Who cares!"

Created, written and performed by William Glenn and Trish Parry, and directed by Jeffrey Mayhew (Theatre of the Damned, London). The creators have been inducted into the British Guild of Beer Writers in acknowledgement of the show, and Trish is also a member of the Pink Boots Society.

A Brief History of Beer is performed at UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place between 1st Avenue and Avenue A) various Saturdays of the month (except March 2017) at 10:30pm. Tickets ($12) are available online at www.horsetrade.info or by calling 1-888-596-1027.
