Sweeney and Ethan are joined at each performance by a wine expert. For Edinburgh Fringe 2024, the two local wine experts were:
Murray Ainslie who owns and operates The Black Grape, an award-winning wine bar and restaurant on the Royal Mile, and Paloma, Leith’s neighbourhood taco spot. He is partial to a good Riesling.
Niina Cunynghame-Lang DipWSET who holds a Diploma in Wine and Spirits and has been in the wine trade for over a decade. Starting her career importing Burgundy to the UK, she has a taste for the classics but on a supermarket budget is always on the lookout for the little diamonds in the rough.
