In short

Alan Carr and Lee Peart host Joanne McNally at The Gore in South Kensington, mixing comedy chat with wine talk and a “Summer wine-up” segment choosing bottles for Wimbledon/Murray Mount. They also discuss McNally’s career, including her podcast, record-breaking alcohol sales at the London Palladium, and her appearance on BBC’s Celebrity Traitors (she was a traitor and won). They joke about “cheap plonk,” collagen wine (“Bitch Diesel”), and her preference for inexpensive drinks (including Buzzballs).

Guest backgrounds

Joanne McNally is a presenter, podcaster, comedian, and (for the day) a waitress. She’s known for alcohol-heavy comedy/podcast branding and for touring stand-up internationally.

Key claims

Notable examples

Gavi di Gavi (Asda/Sherry), Louis Jadot Beaujolais, and Côte de Provence rosé; collagen wine idea “Bitch Diesel”; Buzzballs; Bollinger comparison (“tastes like pedigree chum”).

I like it. You bump into each other in a dark way. Yeah, I'll in God. Yeah. Hello and welcome to Bottoms Up with Alan Carr and Lee Peart. Yes, this is the show where the wine is sparkling, the conversation questionable, and Alan is already on his third glass of fizz. It's called research. Look it up, of course. Well, you've been researching a lot, haven't you? Yes, I have.

2:41And look, new location, new location. New location.

2:45Alan Carr:New location. We are set. New location. Cation. I will have the last word when it comes to jingles. Don't F with me. Wow, this is classy. This is the gore. Iconic. Iconic. It's known for Judy Garland stayed here. She has her own suite. Yes, she does. The afternoon tea here is divine. And that iconic story. I got thrown out of here for being loud once. But that's... Fine. That's something I told you off camera, not to mention. New location. For being loud. For being loud. I know. He said, maybe you would like to go somewhere else. And then I did that thing where I went, oh no, I'm fine here. Oh, I had that once at my friend's birthday party.

3:37I think it's time for you to go home. You've had enough. And I went, oh no, do you know what? I'm all right. And he went, you're not. It was basically like, off you go.

3:47Alan Carr:But this is so classy. I've come in shorts. There's no dress code here and stuff like that. And I love it as well. It's dog friendly. So that makes it great for me when I'm in the little park popping in. But yeah, I'd carry a bag and shorts. Well, it is a heat wave. And I think we are allowed when it's this hot, you can't expect to come in a three-month-old. And when I'm this hot, why should I cover my legs up? But I will say... If you could AI tumbleweed. I will say, you've sat down on this Chesterfield, are we calling it? Is it Chesterfield? Yeah, Chesterfield, yes. And you're embodied. You've just changed.

4:25There's something about you that's a bit... It's like a throne. Yeah, you feel a bit like... Well, you look like you're sitting on a bidet. Oh, thank you. And thank you to the people at the gore for providing this. Lovely. What are you saying? I've got all pompous. No, no, but it's just, I was thinking the way, you know, chairs dictate the way you sit. That's right. And you know, you sit in this, you come to a gorgeous place like this, the surroundings, it just makes you a little bit more zhuzhy.

4:52Alan Carr:And when I sit on a puff, I'm normally quite, quite like that, quite scrunched up. Thankfully, it probably doesn't happen a lot. No, I like a chair. So we're having the fizz, which comes with their gorgeous, Just people are obsessed with afternoon tea, aren't they? Cheers. Cheers, my love. Afternoon tea. It's a gorgeous little thing. If you come to London, you're having a little visit or whatnot, you want to find a really nice place for afternoon tea. Well, this is the gore. In South Kensington, we are. You've got Albert Hall down there, so you want to catch a show. That's great. And then also you've got Hyde Park there.

5:28Alan Carr:I'm talking about the Royal Albert Hall. It could be quite triggering for you. I have to thank you because I went to see at the Royal Albert Hall, around the corner from here. Rufus Wainwright does Judy, Judy Garland. He does a show, his one-man show, all of Judy Garland's songs. And you kindly, you got your act together. You bought the tickets. Last year I bought them. Last year you bought them. Then I was working. I know. I felt bad for you. In Preston. I had to go to Preston. I know, I know. Deep Preston, as they call them. The locals call it that, not me. What are you doing in Deep Preston?

6:04Alan Carr:I said, you can say that, I can't. But I will say it on my podcast. But he was amazing. And he did Judy Garland songs. And he wore the ruby slippers. Now, the ruby slippers are meant to be upstairs. Well, they were his own ruby slippers. I don't think he popped into the gore beforehand. And also, I'm told, I've not seen the suite yet, there's only one upstairs. Apparently, there was a museum. Is that right? Or if I make that up? I went to an exhibition where he showed you all Hollywood memorabilia and I saw Marilyn Monroe's white dress. You know, the one that flipped up like that. It's dirty. It's got marks on it It needs to put a boil wash Genuine That hasn't seen a liquid tab In 60 years No, it's true, it's dirty Well, maybe it's just It's as it is, it's preserved You know, you wouldn't go to a Tutankhamun and go, oh, he needs a wash Oh, he needs a wash Oh God, he Tut, tut Do you know what was in there as well, in the museum?

7:06Alan Carr:Go on. Harrison Ford's whip, the Indiana Jones's whip. Oh. Yes. With Charlie Chaplin's hat, and that was it, the stick. Did they all look a bit worn, like the dress? I wonder if there's like, you know, a caretaker who goes in in the night and tries them all on. Why do you have to turn every story into something seedy and grim? Because I know you. Bungie, Bungie, look at my dressing up box when I wear the Gemma Collins outfit. Yes, that is so worn. That is worn down. And the dog mask I wore. Oh yes, you're a poodle. Do you think you'll ever have a museum? Well, I would like, like, I'm speaking with the V &A at the minute to do my dressing up box.

7:46Alan Carr:Right. Yeah, I think it's iconic. Right, listen, I'm very excited. We have a special guest coming up. The only clue I'm going to say is she likes drink more than us. I know. Does this person exist? Let's find out. Before that, thank you to The Gore for hosting us. Bottoms up.

8:07Our next guest loves wine so much.

8:10Alan Carr:She's a presenter, podcaster and comedian. And she's also a waitress. Please, come on in. Joanne McNally. Hi. Joanne. Yes. I love that when we invite guests on, you know, usually we look after them. And we're like, bring in our food, bring in the wine. You're a waitress for today. Well, I always, I love to bring out a little picnic. I'm a picnic place. Picky bits. Picky bits. I love picky bits. Are you a good host? No. As in like for dinner parties and stuff? Yeah. No, no. How is that? Not you. I like to be hosted. Yes. Like, I love people over, but like you won't get anything. No, same as me.

8:51Do you know what I mean? Yes, yes. You'll have a nice time. Yeah. With chat. There's alcohol there. Yeah, what more do you want? I'll stick around at the shed, but you won't be fed or watered. No. But you will be watered. There's always booze floating around. Yeah, of course. Well, you're going to be watered here because a little birdie tells me you like a Negroni. Ooh, there we go. That's toasting, isn't it? I've got three Negronis here. I don't want a napkin ring. Are you a Negroni guy, Alan?

9:16Alan Carr:I don't really like Negroni, but I will drink it. Yes, you're very good. Bottoms up. Thank you so much for being that weird. What is it? about on a granny because it always tastes a bit weird. Do you know what it is? It's really... That's a good one. That's actually a really lovely one. You can only have one or two. He doesn't like... I wouldn't be eating them with a scone now. No, this is like posh Lucas, eh? Yeah, this isn't the way the afternoon tea comes. No, I wouldn't be like a scone and a granny. But like, they're really strong. I like them as the last drink to kind of send you out. Oh, yeah.

9:51Because you know what? Mine isn't old-fashioned and I think that's a similar realm. Similar, yeah. Is that the one with the egg yolk on the top, the fluffy stuff? No, no, that's a whiskey sour. Great. Yeah. Yeah. It is just because they are quite strong and that is genuine. I like them, but you couldn't drink them for the night. They're like petrol.

10:07Alan Carr:Yeah. And this feels like you would have a Negroni in this room, sat by the fireplace, putting the world to rights. I also love a martini. Oh, how'd you have it? How dirty. Dirty, yeah, filthy. Disgusting, revoltingly dirty. Yeah. Have we met before? No week. Yes. Do we know each other? I'm Joanne. No, I know, but it's just like, it's not what I expected. Martini. Yeah. Yeah, what do you think? I don't know why. Now, don't get me wrong. I also love, I'm like, no, no, no, hold on. I'm disgusting. My friend is like, I can't go to yours for wine because your wine has feet because I drink barefoot.

10:43What do you mean barefoot? Not physically barefoot. She doesn't drink, the wine's called barefoot wine. Yeah, not like me. Oh, I thought, she's changed. No, no, no. I will only have wine with heels on. Yeah, while I'm earthing in the garden. No, I drink, like, I like a kind of a, I've got a cheap palate. Yes. Yeah. I love it. I hope I stay like that. Yeah, you're a woman of the people. I am. Can I eat one of these? Yes, of course. Have a tiny sandwich. I love a teeny tiny sandwich. I know, but it's that thing. It's like Barbie's lunch.

11:15Alan Carr:But also as well, you've got to like, honestly, because there's a lot of alcohol consumed on this podcast. So good. What a great idea for a podcast, fair play. Well, listen. If only Vogue was a drinker, if only she wasn't pregnant all the time. She might be open to a negroni in the middle of the day. Can we just say, though, you know, we invite, you know, a friend of ours, but we also say, you know, we like to have them a validation of something to do with the wine world. And you do have connections to the wine world. The advertising you've... Because I'm barred. What connections do I have to the wine world?

11:50so your first show what was the name of it so I've always put alcohol in my show titles haven't you I know I make myself sound like a raving alcoholic cheers bottoms up good to see you thanks for being here morning you're in morning you're in just the arm got the Lorraine theme tune in the background so lovely to see the sun's coming up So I've always put, like, alcohol in the title of shows. Wine Tamer was the first one. Prosecco Express was the second one. This one is called Pee No File, which I obviously say slowly.

12:35Alan Carr:But did you have any kickback to that? Did Pee the File's right to complain? Well, do you know what? Do you know what, actually? Not as much as I. Ah. People were very receptive. And like a couple of people did contact me. And I was like, it's a pun. It's a comedy show. Come on. Come on. And one woman was like, you're raising awareness for paedophilia. And I was like, am I now? That's bullshit. They're raising awareness. That's what she said. It's like I'm out doing the case of 5K with Prince Andrew. I was like, I'm not raising awareness. I'm not doing anything. Well, because our original title...

13:05It's established. It's an established business at this point. They don't need my help.

13:11Alan Carr:Business. Yeah. Listen. Yeah. We're paedophile. how much money do you need? Because you're like Cher. Says your man. I know. Running a castle up in Scotland. Oh, this is a personal bit. You probably bought this place as well. Where are we? Then you got another day. Is it Hammersmith Apollo? Yeah. Amazing. And I'm going to say, I was at that show, one of those shows. It was amazing. It was such a good show. You were very nice about it. You did a lovely story. No, it was so good. You're on fire. Everyone talks about that show. Everyone who's been says, oh my God, it is hysterical. And I walked into the men's and I said, oh, I'm so sorry.

13:54I'm looking for the men's. It was the men's. It was the men's. All the women were just in there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just like this big pussy palace. It's fantastic. I know, I loved it. I was like, this is where I belong. Although I will say, now obviously it's women, gays and bays, but I'm getting more straight men now than ever before. Really? why do you think that is yeah you spotted them in the wild I don't know I guess like you kind of I was going to run out of women like I'm glad the men are coming in now now they're not coming in there was one show I did I think it was in Stockport and there was four what I assumed to be straight lads because you can kind of read it oh yeah oh yeah yeah you can read it and I was like they're deaf out there you know the way you're calculating in your head while you're up there.

14:46I said, they're absolutely straight. To this day, I think, I still think about them. I'm still talking about them because I have no idea why they were there. I couldn't get my head around it. Do you, because obviously as a stand-up, we'll probably all get this. Do you, if you see like the man that's been dragged there by his wife, do you almost like have to work to not play it to him? Well, when I was a younger comedian, those lads would not, they wouldn't throw you, but like you didn't like it.

15:12Alan Carr:Yeah, and you'd be checking if they were laughing. They'd be like this, oh yeah. Oh yeah. You get them, don't you? Yeah, they're front and round and centre and they want to make it very clear they're not into it. And they're brought there by their wives, daughters, whatever. And they're so hostile. And when you're coming up or whatever, it gets to you because you're always playing to that one person. Yeah. And you're like, oh, I knew it. I'm shit. Look at it. It doesn't, like, you're just believing what they're... But now I couldn't give a fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I couldn't give a fuck. Now I'm like, sometimes I'm like, uncross your arms.

15:40Don't be weird. Oh, you'd call them out. Yeah, just like uncross your arms. So when did you start?

15:44Alan Carr:Because you are like Cher, aren't you? You just keep going with this tour. Isn't she like a cockroach? You're going to be the exact same. I know, I know, I know. And I always feel like, because I do, like, people have different kind of strategies. I want to go out on the road, because when I go out, I go out on the road. And you know yourself, it's, you know, it's a certain type of lifestyle. So I'd like to go out every three years, I think, and just fucking walls to the wall. Yeah. and like everywhere and anywhere they want me a crack in the wall I'll go in and do 20 minutes I don't care because I think with you when you people don't realise how hard it is because your show is banger banger banger banger banger it is a rollercoaster of laughs and I think once you once you fine tune that that's it it's hard to give it up very hard and it's so hard to write a show that you know it's like you put your foot on the gas that's it and the funny thing is as well like if it was you want to also go out like you know because I know some comedians they wouldn't do a tour as long because I think they think it's a bit like what would we say?

16:50Like there's no Self-indulgent? No. That wasn't what I was going to say. They're like oh no they're like I would never do a tour that long you're kind of like running into the ground as such. But the tickets are still being sold. Yeah. Surely they dictate that. It'd be different if there was no

17:05Alan Carr:Oh my God. If everyone was like no one cares anymore but they're still buying them. So you know. I mean but it's all over And I love gigging. But you are like a phenomenon because even when I was touring, this is on your last tour, I couldn't sell tickets in America. I could not fucking sell. I'm really surprised by that. And you were doing Adderall, Tennessee. You were going everywhere. I was, but like, to who? It wasn't like I was walking into this huge room in Salt Lake City. It's an absolute slog, you know. But also Taskmaster sold a good bit of tickets for me in America. Have you done it?

17:39No, never done Taskmaster. A lot of comics say that the one thing at the minute that can still sell you tickets is Test Master. In the States. I couldn't get over it because obviously I do the podcast with Vogue and my experience has always been that that's kind of where people find me. Yeah. But I was in Seattle or something and there weren't big rooms. It was like maybe 250, 300. But like still in Seattle, like I'm like,

18:02Alan Carr:where are these coming from? It still amazes you when you go like, so have you ever done like the Arctic Circle? Like that, I did the Arctic Circle, Finland. People tell me, I think, how do you know? I know. I'm like, how do you know who I am? It's the worst thing you should say to your audience. Yeah. Why are you here? Why are you here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. How did you end up here? And like, I remember my mum was, because I was saying like something, some town in Norway wasn't selling. My mum was like, my mother was like, because your mother will obviously always straighten you. And she was like, but why would it sell?

18:30We don't know anyone there. I was like, I can't just, I'm not just performing to people I know anymore. Yeah, it's just my friend. Strangers are now coming to see the show. Like, it's not just friends and family. and be like tap dancing for my cousins. But no, it is always weird when you do start, like because there's different, when your career like starts growing and there's different goalposts and stuff. And then you get used to things very fast. But the States to me, I was like, I couldn't, I was like, where? Like you, where are they coming from? But then at the same breath, you're like more, more, more, more.

19:00So this time I'm going out and again, they're small rooms, but you just, I'm just like, just get the ball rolling on America. Not that I think I'll crack it in any way. I don't even know what crock in America looks like or means. But I've nothing else to do. I might as well. The thing is, what I do love about you, Joanne, is, and I've spoken, actually, because I'm on the circuit at the minute, and I speak to people in green rooms, and we chat about people, and you came up a couple of months ago. And someone said to me, I don't know how true this is, but they were like, we love her. She does it all on her own terms.

19:28Someone who was even like, she didn't even, she didn't, she turned down live at the Apollo. She didn't need to do that. She knew what she wanted. Have you always been like that? Like, that's what I do think about you. you're very even like peenophile there would be so many people and I'm sure many venues have gone oh stay clear of that and you're like no this is my only the one show I think of course I think it was TV was hard to get for sure or they were like you know Amanda Holden's like do you want McNally Live? no one's saying no one's saying the show name but like I didn't I mean no I think what happened was I didn't get a lot of TV when I started so I had to do my own thing Right, okay And the freedom of the podcast is as we all know game changing Yeah Like I didn't get any of the panel shows like I didn't really get anything and then the Live with the Apollo thing the first time I was offered it I had to pull out for personal reasons Yes And then when it came back the second time around I didn't like I was like there's no I'm kind of on tour now Yeah You're doing the Apollo Yeah, exactly I was doing my own Apollos You can only do so much or you go nuts.

I was like, oh, go on the girls. I was trying for them. I remember the first night I did, when the tour started, I did Leicester Square Theatre at the start and they ran out of glasses and stuff. So I knew, we knew there was like, they were drinkers. And in fairness, I was calling the show the Prosecco Express. Like what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Up your game. It's not like you shot, yeah, come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't called the Sober Society.

21:54Yes, exactly. They had hints. Yeah, this wasn't the knitting club. This was a proper night out. and then yeah work got back to me I was sitting in the green room I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news oh and they're like it's the most alcohol I ever sell because he's told me how much the bar made and I was like what? you didn't get a percentage of the bar I was like I need to bring out an alcohol

22:16Alan Carr:why don't you bring out one? I'd love to do you know what I but you can't call it penophile because no one is going to stop that I'm just saying I mean I'm no Alan Sugar but no one's going to can I have a penophile please? let's keep things positive of Alan, please. You don't know. We could get away with it. I have an idea. I wanted to call it. I wanted to bring out a red wine, a white wine and a pink wine. That's it. That's just all it is. No one cares about the grapes. It doesn't matter. That's just the colours of them. It's called Bitch Diesel and it has collagen in it. Bitch Diesel with collagen?

22:45Yeah. Oh. Bitch with collagen. Don't talk to me about the legs on it or anything like that. I don't give a shit. It's a pink, it's a red, it's a white. So you get younger

22:54Alan Carr:as you drink this wine. But it's got collagen in it. Fuck me, You'd be like a baby at the end of it. You'd be like Benjamin Butter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You go back to a cot at the end of the night. But not butter. You get wheeled out in a bram by your boyfriend at the end of the night. You've just literally completely gone back to your childhood. That's such a good idea. It's a good idea, isn't it? You're now on the biggest show on telly that's coming out later this year, isn't it? Yeah, and I know I've been in the same position because we're talking about traitors. Did you say traitors, Alan? I know.

23:27Alan Carr:I am good. I think I, did I do all right? I think I did all right. No, but you are now, you know now, until that show comes out, everyone's going, what happened on dry? What happened? You can't say anything. The BBC will kill you. Oh, yeah, no, no. You're like that in a... My mother... People don't understand. You'll see a red dot on my head. They're just like, I saw it. Lord, you're with government with a sniper. Test card. Yeah. In her tartan. You can't, honestly. Listen, I am a massive Traitors fan, so I don't want to know any of the words. He said to me, he was probably the only one that said, don't tell me anything about it.

24:02Alan Carr:He said, because I want to watch it as we go along. But did you win? I won, yes. No, you were a traitor. Who did you kill? Yeah, I was a traitor and I won. Yeah, just play it really fast. They can't really hear anything. Well, he did this. He ended up, actually, that's a good tactic for you to have. If people do ask you, tell people different things each time. That's what he started doing to me. because I said, when you get evicted, or no, murder, I said, when I got murdered, they put you in a really fancy hotel away from, and I was like, ha, ha. And I was like, like taking candy from a baby. He said to me, he said, oh God, we were just recruiting, recruiting, recruiting all the time.

24:45It got to episode seven of nine. I'm like, that's been a single recruitment.

24:50Alan Carr:I'm like, it threw me. But then people think you live at the castle. So you don't, do you? Now sadly, Alan, you don't. What's the castle like to live in? I'm not there. Can I just say something? Your shop shipped in and shipped straight back out. I ended up, I remember coming in one of the rooms, we were chatting, we were having a real deep and meaningful and one of the, they had to cut the filming and they came in, they're like, Joanne, you can't vape in the castle. I was just in there like really indebted into this conversation, or bed into this conversation, like pulling on this vape because you do feel very relaxed in the castle after a while.

25:21You forget the cameras are there. Totally. And like, I always thought that was horse shit when I'd watched Big Brother before. Yeah, yeah. Kinga's shoving a bottle up herself. I was like, as if we could forget. She knew the cameras were there. As if we could forget the cameras were there. But you do.

25:34Alan Carr:Oh, yeah. Yeah. You do, actually. Jonathan Ross said the thing, he loved the experience and he did. There were so many laughs, he said, but he struggled with the lying. Yes. And not trusting and coming down for breakfast. Yeah. But I didn't realise I was laughing every time someone died. But I watched it back. But you laugh all the time. Yeah, yeah. Just giggles and you see. That's like Last One Laughing. Fuck me, that was torture. I haven't watched it. Did you win? What do you think? No. He was out first. But I think that's why, that's what you do. You laugh so much. It's almost like a tick. Yeah, it is a tick.

26:07Alan Carr:It's almost punctuation, isn't it? It's like your exclamation point is like you laugh. Do you know what happened to Last One Laughing? And I maybe shouldn't say this, but they went, that noise went... I went... And they went, We'll let you have that one, Alan. Let's start again. Oh my God. So even the noise. It's like when you play a board game with a child and then they get angry that they didn't win the first round and you go, that was a practice. That was a practice for Alan. Alan, in what world could you ever do last one laughing? All you do is laugh. I know. It was hell for me. It was hell.

26:41It was hell. I know a comedian who did it in one of the other territories and got himself hypnotized. Hypnotized to not laugh. That's cheating. Is it? Yes. Well, I'm glad I didn't say their name then. Want smoother, brighter skin without adding another complicated step to your routine? Try Daily Microfoliant from Dermalogica.

27:57Right then, it is time for a special segment. We like to call the summer wine-up. Summer wine-up. Summer wine-up.

28:06Alan Carr:Summer wine-up. Summer wine-up. Wine-up. Brought to you by Tesco. All over summer, we're listening to your wine dilemmas and working with the wine experts at Tesco to help your summer go swimmingly. Lee, what is the dilemma? I will tell you. So we've got, I'm going to my first Wimbledon. Oh. Well, don't get too excited. To my horror, I've discovered that they've got a one bottle of wine or champers per person policy. No way. If I'm only bringing one bottle, I want to enjoy it. So what's a solid bottle of Plonk to enjoy while watching the tennis from Murray Mount? Now I will say. Oh, Murray Mount.

28:48Alan Carr:I thought she was going into actual Wimbledon with bottles of wine. Yeah, no, no. She's only sitting on a hill with a bottle. Yeah, yeah. Which we love to do. Which is okay. We do it often, don't we? Well, I thought at first her name was Murray Mount. This has been sent in from Murray Mount. No, so we've got three. Now, I will say Wimbledon, I'm going to say this is Wimbledon season. And also, Wimbledon, I think, can seem quite elitist, as I was saying to the men at polo the other day. Where you won the Groguet Show Championships. So, yeah, I know what you mean, but it's, you know, it's Wimbledon season, aka it's, for me, Wimbledon suggests barbecues, summer weather, friends round the garden, things like that, all right?

29:39So it doesn't necessarily have to be for Wimbledon.

29:41Alan Carr:And you can watch it on the telly and sit in your garden or your yard or something. have some strawberries and cream and a nice glass of wine. Yeah, so we've got three here. That's what people do, isn't it? I've lost touch. You've heard. So we've got an Asheri Gavi de Gavi. I am so into a Gavi de Gavi. I know, I'm going to love this already because I do drink Gavi de Gavi. Yeah, it's lovely. So let's have a taste. So we're going to try and find the best bottle. And bear in mind, the challenge is to get, you know, if you're smuggling in just one bottle, you want it to be a good one. How is she smuggling it in?

30:14Alan Carr:um i don't i don't know that could affect the the flavor the intensity yeah yeah yeah disguise it in a murray mound so now how's she smuggling it in i'm assuming in a carrier well no i don't actually think she is smuggling it in because you're allowed one bottle per person okay so it's choosing the best one isn't it yes that is lovely it's light it's refreshing and i'm getting pear i always say it every time i am getting better do you do you do you eat pears a lot i don't know why i say it but it does it's giving me bare yeah it's it's light it's not too acidic either and what did he say about what did he say the line expert yeah well look at that color that's a lovely color that really nice goes down easily perfect yeah and i think if you're sitting on that hill there's going to be a lot of competition because wimbledon's a bit rah-rah in it yeah so you don't you want to be with yeah you want to yeah you don't want to whip out a like little bottle of prosecco or anything like that you want to go you're going to be judged i bought a gabby de gabby and you're going to be judged yeah prepared to be judged so i think that's great and retailing currently at 13.75.

31:31Really? That's cheap. Perfect, perfect. All right. Well, let's reserve judgment. All right, let's move on to the Louis Jadot Beaujolais. Okay. Now, this is a Beaujolais. Nice red. Now, you know, a lot of people, because Wimbledon... You've got the shakes. I know, it's because when it's heavy, I always get worried of... Thank you for pointing that out to everyone concerned. What a bloody hell. so red might be a bit of a rogue choice but we've thrown it in there

32:03Alan Carr:especially if you're wearing tennis whites oh yes I'm not getting pear no what are you getting see a lot of people as well would say for a red in the summer because you know women again connotes summer doesn't it a lot of people would say oh I'd avoid a red but this one but this podcast has taught me do not judge a red by its summer. That's beautiful. Don't judge a red by its summer. And if tests go, I think I'd ditch every little helps. Don't judge a red by its summer. It's light, it's nice, and it could be nice in the day. And this is summery. It's giving me berries. Yeah, and also, imagine sat there on Murray Mound or in the garden.

32:50Lucky Murray. Or in the garden or wherever you are. Yeah, in a park. I would look around people and I'd think, these people, they're not drinking red like I am.

33:01Alan Carr:And can I say, and this might be a bit of a pun, but I'm going to go, love all. Nice. That's catenis, isn't it? Yeah. Love all. Yes. Better than juice. Is that a good one? It's better than juice. Juice. That's another, isn't it? That is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's£12.75 that retails at. Oh, nice. That's good. And it's so fresh. Really nice. That is actually delicious. Okay, I'm going to move on to one now, which I think... But we've got to remember, we on this podcast, we're trying to go against the grain. Yes, we are. We're trying to go against our instinct. But it is difficult when you've got a lovely bottle of Cote de Provence.

33:46Oh. It is one of our favourites, isn't it? We love rosé, don't we? We absolutely do.

33:51Alan Carr:Strawberries. I'm getting strawberries. I go nice strawberries and cream. Yeah. Heat waves. You know, this is what we're dealing with. And a Cote de Provence. Can you get any better? Let's have a taste of this. Oh. Oh, my God. That is so smooth. It's just summer in a glass, isn't it? I know. And I know we're meant to, like, you know, expand our mind when it comes to wine. but we always have this, don't we? Yeah. To me, like you said, it's summer in a glass, so yeah. Well, what I would say is if you are one, all three of them are top-notch, I would say. What I will say is the Provence, if you're like us, stick to what you, you're only taking one bottle.

34:35Yes. So you can't take a risk. And if you love a bit of rosé and you love the Provence, then go for that.

34:41Alan Carr:Yeah, that's a good point. If you're smuggling in a bottle, You want it to be a good bottle. Exactly. Now is not the time to experiment. No, exactly. Or go against the grain. However, if you like a white, you cannot go wrong with this Gavi de Gavi. I do love a red, but I think in this summer weather, nice barbecue, it's rosé or white weather, isn't it? I know, so that is strawberry. And you're getting your strawberries from your strawberries and cream. Exactly. It pairs perfectly. The good thing about Tesco is they have their wine experts, so they do this all for you. I mean, we are, of course, the ultimate experts.

35:15Of course. They have their own experts that do it all for you. So they pick, so you're never really going to go wrong with that. And at those prices as well, it's absolutely perfect.

35:23Alan Carr:Well, there you go. We've sorted Wimbledon for you. Don't forget the strawberries and cream. And what they say, love, love, love. If you want to go for your traditional summer drink, I'd go for the Cote de Provence, Tesco Finest there. If you fancy a bit of a white, you've got the Gavi de Gavi from a sherry. Or being a rebel, go for red. Exactly. go for the Beaujolais. It's light and fruity. Head to tesco.com to pick up these bottles or any of your local Tesco's to explore the full range.

36:05Bottoms up.

36:10Alan Carr:Joanne is so random yet. On Instagram, I am known for going down some real dodgy things. So there's this thing called Crime Scene USA and it's people, crime scenes. You can't see the bodies but just blood splattered up. And I went, oh, this is a bit of me. Like Joanne McNally. So I go, yeah, you like that? He went, yeah, I love it. You two are very similar. We keep coming across each other in like the darkest parts of the internet. Like, oh, my God. Do you bump into each other in the dark web? Yeah, I'll end up. Yeah, do you have us on the dark web button? hand grenade. Hello, hon. How are you?

36:44Alan Carr:And then I sent you that one with a man who calls people who come out the jail. Got anything to say? I'm like, fuck off. I'm innocent, mate. Liked by Joanne McNally.

36:58I know. Sometimes I don't even remember I've liked them. Someone will send a screen grab and be like, what the fuck? You have a few glasses at home and then go in. Oh, God, yeah. Because I was telling him,

37:08Alan Carr:I don't read the captions and I won't say, but there was a show that I did where one of the contestants slagged off the whole process and me and I liked it and then the producer went Alan can you unlike that please I said what? Because she's standing there like this smiling I thought it was like love the show love Alan Alan's a piece of shit That is so funny And also looks vaguely passive aggressive like But you can also like stuff by accident I've done that I've really shared stuff by accident Yeah, yeah Like really weird stuff that like I don't know that reshare spinny thing is very easily hit Yeah they need to make that more prominent because you could sneeze and the next thing you know you've propaganda Totally Yeah You could share some lad getting decapitated or whatever you're like I didn't know Lol Lol Lol Yeah Hope you're okay hon reshare Can we I think while we while we have you here and while we're still allowed to be here No smoke without fire Sorry I think we should talk about wine.

38:12It is a wine. Yes. And I want to know your likes and your, you know, interests when it comes to wine. Now, you've already said... Well done for refocusing. Thank you. I like... I try. I try. I try and take us out the dark web and into life. No, but like, you said you like... I have the dark... Sorry, I have the dark web on my laptop. No, you can't. Yeah, no, I can. Yeah, because it's there. Yeah. Oh, my... So I was basically... What's the worst thing you've bought?

38:38Alan Carr:A gun? Nothing. Yes. Just so I don't sound like an absolute lunatic who's genuinely online trying to buy hand grenades. Like, I can't even sort out my own ring doorbell. There was no way I'd be able to access the dark web on my own. Imagine you pressing it. Someone coming around to yours. Yeah, just detonate it off. It's like, I bought on the dark web. I was saying that I did a podcast about, like, it was called something about Furbies. And it's about, it was about, like, the Chinese. Anyway, there was a security guy who works in digital security for like Homeland Security or something like that.

39:11And he came over to mine and put the dark web on the internet. It was for a documentary. So let's talk about wine. Yes. Because you said that you like the cheap stuff, but do you ever treat yourself to like a nice... Yeah. No, I don't. No. Okay. But I'll tell you what I was going to say is I really value my cheap palette because when the apocalypse comes and it's coming according to the dark web oh yeah when we're all in bunkers

39:42Alan Carr:my slave is shitting himself are you going to take him into the bunker with you or are you going to just fuck him off prepare the bunker

39:53Alexa prepare the bunker please any music soft lighting we're going to be here for a while

40:03so I don't like I'm very happy even like Very cheap food. I love it. I love a petrol station sandwich. I love a cheap glass of white wine. I love it. And actually, the more expensive the drink gets, the less I like it. And a promoter gave me a bottle of... I better not say the name. You can. He goes, Bollinger.

40:26Alan Carr:Nice. You didn't like it. Tastes like pedigree chum. Okay. I said I'd rather eat cat food. Awful stuff. No? So you'd pair it with Sheba. And I don't think I'm risking any future collaboration here. No, no, I don't think you were on their vision board.

40:45I think you're okay with me. She's a no. And if you were that dark web conversation, maybe. I'm waiting for the call from Buzzball. That's who I'm waiting for. Oh, I had a sip of Buzzball for the first time recently. Everyone's banging on about Buzzballs. Love Buzzball. And I thought, oh, no, have a sip. Actually, they're not too bad, are they? They're lime. The lime one I had. What is a buzz ball? It's like a... What? It's a ball. And it's a cocktail. Journey juice. It's basically like journey juice. Oh, journey, journey. No, but there's a brand called Buzzball. We'll have to bring them in as a welcome drink and everyone's loving them.

41:24And I went into this off-license the other day and my friend was like, I want a buzz ball. I said, I'll get you a buzz ball. Yeah. Seven pound for a buzz ball. Can you believe it? Less than a slave. You can't put a price in a buzz ball. No, I know. So I got him it. and it was like, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I mean, I don't know where, I don't know where you've got your taste. I love buzz balls. I would serve them at my wedding. If I got married, I'd be going around serving buzz balls.

41:46Alan Carr:What's the nearest taste I would know for a buzz ball? Like a margaritory type? Sugared petrol. Sugared petrol. I would say. You know that. Yeah. They go great with the vape. Do you know what I mean? Oh, lovely. Yeah. Let's talk about your podcast, actually. I sometimes feel like Ghosts of Distill kind of new. which is stupid because it's not. But to me, because it doesn't really feel like work. So then it's just, the years kind of tick on quite quickly. And then you're like, oh my God, we've got to be three, five years under our belt. Yeah, yeah. But I think we benefited massively from, we started it when people were still kind of half locked down.

42:25Yes. So, I mean, that was a benefit. It was like getting a head start, really, because the people were trapped. you just had a hostage situation where people had to listen to stuff and we took full advantage of that also Vogue has such a big profile that I very much came in like she had a huge following and I kind of like what do you call it when the baseball you kind of side what do you call it when they kind of side side step side side they kind of slip slip slip through the back door side you know when they go kind of when they meet the bait Cha-cha slide Yes I cha-cha'd in That classic saying And So I got really lucky there Because That's a great technique to do Isn't it?

43:15You should think about that Lee You should get You should hook up with a really big star I'm riding his cloak tails Yeah You should You should But it's all like You know It's all No but it obviously works with you Did you know each other before? Yeah Your one works

43:30Alan Carr:Yeah You're equal yeah exactly see where this goes yeah you don't jive at each other and make comments no not at all it's really great no me and Vogue have never I'll tell you and like I one of my favourite things about Vogue she is honestly like kind of like family at this point but we would like disagree about stuff and the great thing is we're so different in that regard whereas like we argue quite differently and I think the key to having a good relationship with anyone, whether it be work, platonic, romantic, whatever, is learning how to disagree with them without it like spiralling off into madness.

44:14We can shout at each other and be like, oh, shut up. Yeah, exactly. And then it's done. And I think it's not about how you argue, it's how you kind of make up, basically. And we've definitely figured that out over the years. So now if there's any issues or anything, we just, you know, we just kind of have it out and say it and we fix it and we move on we have a business together now and a friendship so I'm going to pour a glass of wine it is a wine podcast the Negroni was lovely wasn't it a show of a rose and I had an orange do you like a rose because is is Pinot Grigio your favourite yeah but I'm told that that's very basic because are you are you like a little wine wine head well I love a wine sorry Sommelier no no no this podcast I'm trying to learn more but I'm not like I'm not there yet I'm trying to pick things up.

45:00I'd say you'd be, I could get you on the bitch diesel, I'd say, pretty quickly. Well, I have had a wine, not to, it's quite close, called Pink Diesel. There's a wine called Pink Diesel. I have had that. They sell that on Portobello Road and I had that one. Okay, that's okay. So just be aware of that. That's okay. That's okay. That's marketed for ladies though,

45:19Alan Carr:isn't it? Pink Diesel, is it? Yeah. I'm marketing for ladies. Well, the feral ones. Yeah, bitch diesel. Yeah, bitch diesel. Drinking your age backwards. So who ideally would you like in the advert for Bitch Diesel? Joanna Lumley, something like that. That would be great, wouldn't it? Let's talk about another show that you're in, TLC, which is like, TLC is banging at the minute. It's back, isn't it? Throwing out shows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Including Unacceptable. Yes. Talk to us about that. It's a new panel show. With Ed Gamble, right? Ed Gamble's the host. I am a team captain. Richard Iowadi's the other team captain.

45:52Great. and it's on TLC. Well, that has sold it. That's the exclusive. Wow, my God. What's the premise? We have panelists every week and so we've, you know, teams of people who, what is wrong with me? Is it the 6am Negroni? I'm literally, it's like I'm falling into a dredge of space. We've never, you haven't finished a sentence. Also, can I just say, I hate to throw you under the bus, Joanne, but it's not 6am. is like 4pm in the afternoon. Yeah, don't make out. We've dragged you here in the morning. I was trying to make out like it was a really inappropriate time. Yeah, yeah. Don't throw us under the bus.

46:32So basically, and it's like you talk about, it's comedians arguing unacceptable opinions. Right. So I think I was forced to argue women aren't funny. Harriet Kemsley was forced to argue that single mums are lazy. Oh, so it's like debating. Yes, exactly. Nice. Nice. Catherine Ryan argued, although I think in fairness we all kind of agreed, that men shall get vasectomies at birth. It's like... And then get un-vasectomized when they hit whatever, a certain stage in their lives. That's good. And she's very, very persuasive. Oh, I bet she is. Well, I'm incredibly suggestible. So like anyone could say anything to me.

47:11Like Ramesh Ranganathan was arguing we should pay the royal family more. And I was like, absolutely. Because he was just really good at it. Yeah. but yeah so it's good crack I think as well it's a little bit of a response to you know there's a general vibe well you can't say anything anymore but like it's all in good it's very clear no one means a single word of anything they're saying now they could chop it up and they could ruin your career in a second hello yeah hello yeah some of the stuff and they won't they won't it's a it's a giant tongue in cheek I would say yeah but like I never I've barely done a panel show before let alone being a team captain but do you feel like this because I feel like this on the circuit and you know I'm going to call it being out on the ground doing gigs and we did that gig together even at Farmhouse and you were so good but like do you feel like this because loads of people will say to you and I bet you get this in interviews oh do you agree like people say oh you can't say anything anymore and I think you can't as much on TV and in interviews and when they remove context.

48:19But every time I do a comedy club, a Friday or Saturday night where I'm hosting or whatever, and I see comedians go out and I just see a room full of people just pissing themselves laughing at quite inappropriate stuff still. And I think you can still do it. But I think in TV world and lack of context and clickbait, that's where you can't. And I think the majority of people, do you feel like this is a comic? Like, you know, I've seen your show and it's amazing. And there's some, you know, I'd say near the knuckle type jokes not offensive or anything like that but you think like oh maybe on something like BBC or whatever they go oh you can't say that and I think they're the ones that need to change it's not the public the public love it well yeah I think you just have to like there's consequences so it's like how hardcore are you?

49:05how much do you want to tell that joke? are you willing to deal with like the backlash? but I do think channels are like you know they kind of culture and society has moved on a lot of the stuff I don't want to hear people say because I don't like it anymore there's that thing it's like you can say what you want but like if you do say it I'll think you're a dick do you know what I mean well I think isn't that the difference of punching down and punching up you can still say things and there's a way of doing it I think so and I like poking the bear but I don't to capitate the bear no no you're not like yeah no

49:34Alan Carr:you don't like fucking the bear I don't want to fuck the bear or get fucked by the bear no no one wants that which is 25 pounds on the dark web

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee are joined by comedian, podcaster and soon-to-be Celebrity Traitors star Joanne McNally.

Joanne shares her love of wine with the boys, from her unapologetically cheap palate and wine-inspired stand-up tours to her ambition to launch her own wine range... infused with collagen.

Recorded at The Gore in South Kensington – home to the iconic Judy Garland Suite, complete with ruby slippers – the trio enjoy one of London's finest afternoon teas, perfectly paired with English sparkling wine.

Along the way they chat Negronis, stand-up comedy, world tours, podcasting, breaking records, BuzzBallz, the dark web, and Joanne's upcoming appearance on The Celebrity Traitors.

You can catch Joanne on Unacceptable on TLC, and on tour with Pinotphile – tickets are on sale now.
