Geordie stand-up Carl Hutchinson brings his new show 'Fine Whine', about the challenges of being a modern-day dad, to The Drill.
Carl Hutchinson brings his new show Fine Whine to The Drill on Friday 21 May 2027, with doors opening at 19:00 and the night running through to 23:00. It's a stand-up comedy set, and the whole thing is built around a single theme: the demands of being a modern-day dad and finding your place in society. Hutchinson describes it as his biggest and best tour yet.
If you've not come across him before, he's a Geordie comic who's built his name on a mix of storytelling and physical comedy, sharp characterisations, impeccable timing and energetic delivery. On the UK circuit, that's earned him the tag of 'powerhouse comedian'. He's appeared on Prime Video, BBC One, Comedy Central and ITV2, and has a fair few accolades behind him: he was crowned Magners Pub Comedian of the Year, won the Beat the Frog World Series competition, reached the final of So You Think You're Funny? and was nominated for the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year Award. He also featured in Ents24's 20 Hardest Working Comedians of 2018.
