The social power of beer & pubs | James Dowdeswell | TEDxTamworth The media often blames alcohol for problems in society and yet in his experience drinking beer and visiting pubs brings society together.

James headlines comedy clubs around the UK and is also highly sought after as an MC. His comedy is erudite, off the cuff and clean. Dowdeswell has appeared on numerous TV shows including Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC) and Extras (BBC) where he played the Count in the David Bowie episode. James is the author of The Pub Manifesto: A Comedian Stands Up For Pubs. This was published by CAMRA Books in November 2018. It was nominated for The Guild Of British Beer Writers Awards for The Long Live The Local Award for Best Book On Pubs 2019.

There’s something intoxicating about the word “INTOXICATING.”

Granted it has the word “Toxic” in the middle, but sandwiched between an “In” and “A Ting.” Which has to be a good thing. But does it qualify for a portmanteau?

You were missed. Wishing you a very speedy recovery Jess. 🍻
