Glasgow comedian Paul Black to pour free Tennent's Light pints in city this weekend

Glaswegians could get their hands on a free pint poured by comedian Paul Black this weekend.

'Pints and Patter' is coming to Buchanan Street where beer fans will get the chance to prove they can tell better jokes than one of the country's most popular funnymen.

If punters manage to make Paul laugh, they'll land themselves a goodie bag with a Tennent's Light pint glass and t-shirt.

Meanwhile, free pints of Tennent’s Light can be redeemed in four different Glasgow bars including BAaD, 226 Gallowgate, Bar 91 and Committee Room No 9 between Friday, June 10 and Monday, June 20 - and Paul may even pour it for you himself as he makes his way around the participating outlets on Saturday, June 11 between 12pm and 2pm.

Announcing the giveaway this morning, Tennent's said: "Beer fans who enjoy a joke or two are in for a treat this weekend (Friday, June 10 and Saturday, June 11) with free pints of Tennent’s Light up for grabs - there’s even a chance it’ll be poured by viral comedian Paul Black.

"Scotland’s lowest calorie lager has teamed up with the social star to challenge Scotland to a ‘patter battle’, with free Tennent’s Light merchandise up for grabs for anyone who can make the comedian laugh out loud.

"Tennent’s Light is backing Paul as one of the funniest people in Scotland, and he’s willing to be challenged. Simply deliver your best joke in a bid to make funny man Paul laugh - succeed and you’ll grab yourself a goodie bag containing a Tennent’s Light pint glass and t-shirt.

"‘Pints and Patter’ will take place on Glasgow’s Buchanan Street on Friday, June 10 where Paul will be on-hand from 12pm till 2pm to hear your best patter. The team from Tennent’s Light will also be on-site handing out vouchers for a free ice-cold pint.

"Tennent’s Light think that I’m one of the funniest people in Scotland,’ says Paul Black with a smile. "And, as I’m always up for a laugh… I am willing to be challenged!

"I want your dad jokes and your bad jokes too. I might even pour the pint for you myself. See you there!"

'Boldly Brewed for Good Times', Tennent’s Light is backing Scotland’s creatives by investing 3.5% of profits to Scottish arts and culture. Tennent’s Light have partnered with Paul Black, The Snuts and Brooke Combe in a bid to help creatives in post-pandemic recovery.

Tennent's say: "The Light lager has also issued five grants to some of Scotland’s most promising young creatives embarking on incredible projects in their subculture fields.

These include rising-star rapper Bemz, r ‘n’ b singer-songwriter kitti, fashion weaver Jonny MacKinnon, film photographer Michael Rankin and sustainable skateboard designer, Danny Aubrey.

"The SpotLight winners have all been awarded a grant of £5,000 towards their creative projects and are being mentored by leaders in their fields along the way."
