Comedy Central is launching a new web series in which comedians grab a pie and a pint before sharing the various trials and tribulations they’ve experienced since going into comedy.

Comedy Central says: “Comedians. Pies. Pints. The local pub is a great place to have a rant about the world, so we’ve invited some of the best up-and-coming comedians to come and have a go.” The eight episodes of Pie and A Pint will feature Eshaan Akbar, Joe Sutherland, Andy Field, Funny Women Award winner London Hughes, Harriet Kemsley, and 2015 Funny Women Awards finalists Sophie Duker and Sarah Keyworth.

You can watch the trailer here…
