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. He hopes his Talk will persuade people to look at Beer and Pubs in a more positive light. James Dowdeswell is comedian, author and beer producer. 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 Howardโ€™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. Dowdeswell is fast becoming known as โ€œThe Craft Beer Comedian.โ€ His latest show, โ€œBeers Of A Clownโ€ is a hilarious love letter to beer. The show has been an hit so far with a string of sell out shows including Brew York Brewery, Moor Brewery, and The Alma Theatre in Bristol. He is shortly announcing more dates for 2025. James even produces his own beer, the aptly titled โ€œLazy Eye-PA! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Thereโ€™s something intoxicating about the word โ€œINTOXICATING.โ€

Granted it has the word โ€œToxicโ€ in the middle, but sandwiched between an โ€œInโ€ and โ€œA Ting.โ€ Which has to be a good thing. But does it qualify for a portmanteau?
