The National Treasure Pops In for Wine, Wisdom & Wicked Banter
Graham Norton is this week’s guest on “Bottoms Up! with Alan Carr & Lee Peart”.
For American readers: “Bottoms Up!” is Alan and Lee’s weekly wine‑chat comedy show, where the duo crack open a bottle, dive into the week’s chaos, and pull stories out of guests that only loosen once the cork does. It’s part wine tasting, part unfiltered hang, part “how did we get here?”
And while everyone knows Alan Carr, Lee Peart gets a proper intro here for U.S. audiences. Lee is a British comedian, presenter, and podcaster with sharp timing and a broadcaster’s polish — the dry‑humored counterbalance who keeps the pace tight while still stirring the pot. He and Alan together create that perfect two‑hander rhythm where guests instantly relax and the stories get funnier, faster.
The comedic master host and writer joins the fellow funny lads unleashing origin stories like producing his own wine — including the moment he admits, “It is embarrassing that my face is on it” — plus a Eurovision bottle battle, TV disasters, stand‑up career memories, and so much more pulled straight from the transcript.
There’s Graham recalling live‑TV chaos (“the dog ran off — action”), Alan spiraling about SNL UK backlash, and the trio laughing through a Romanian wine victory that nearly derails the tasting (“this is a beer… I’m going to be sick”).
Press play on all the silly banter and intriguing tales like only these fellows can talentedly and charismatically accomplish — the kind of episode where the wine flows, the stories get better, and the chemistry does the rest.
