Summary
This week on Bottoms Up!, the country’s in the middle of a heatwave, so Alan Carr and Lee Peart are cooling off with a refreshing Prime Meridian. The pair discuss a recent theatre trip to see Liberace and Liza, while Lee reveals he’s got the itch to head back to Edinburgh and perform again - but which very famous comedian once heckled him during a gig? Elsewhere, Lee recounts a recent train journey that escalated into a row over a salmon and cream cheese bagel, while Alan’s been struck down with a brand-new ailment: “mincer’s hip”. Plus, the boys tackle an age-old dilemma - should mixing lemonade with wine be considered a criminal offence? Wine expert Manny Does Wine (@mannydoeswine) joins the boys for a blind Malbec taste test. But can Alan and Lee tell the difference between a £12 bottle and one worth £80?
