Marc Jennings teams up with Scottish brewer Innis & Gunn

Glasgow-based comedian Marc Jennings is helping Scottish brewer Innis & Gunn compile the country’s funniest stories for a new book of pub banter and confessions.

A campaign to solicit contributions has kicked off with a video in which the stand-up visited hometown haunts such as The Clutha, Coopers, The Lismore, The Rock and The Park Bar. 

Jennings said: ‘When we go to the pub, we say we’re going for a pint, but what we’re also going for is the patter.

'I’ve been in comedy for a long time and been around some of the funniest people in the country, but there’s still nothing that beats sitting around the pub having a laugh with your mates -  and I’m so glad that Innis & Gunn are shining a light on the banter that makes our pubs so special, and I can’t wait to hear more top-quality stories from pub-goers across Scotland.’

Dougal Sharp, founder of Innis & Gunn, added: ‘We want to celebrate and cherish this connection between pals in our pubs and bars by launching a book which retells the very funniest stories.’
