Drunk History

2015–2017 · 3 seasons

A loose, giggly watch where slurred storytelling and silly reenactments make history feel like a boozy party anecdote.

Overview: Top UK comedians relate their favourite historical stories while getting absolutely bladdered on a mixture of beers, wines and spirits. Their slurred versions of history are then acted out, word for word, by a host of well-known actors, celebrities and comedians including Johnny Vegas, Russell Kane, Joe Lycett, Rob Beckett, Alex Horne and James Acaster. Luckily, Jimmy Carr is on voice-over duties to restore some order if the drinking sessions get out of hand.
How it feels: Absurd, campy, satirical and light. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Media, celebrity, art, friendship
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
