Last Saturday, the Variety Power of Comedy celebrated comedians at the Avalon Hollywood. The event honored Seth MacFarlane and was hosted by Joel McHale. It was a barrel of laughs no doubt as the Variety Power of Comedy featured comedic performances by Bill Maher, Giovanni Ribisi, Chris D’Elia, Eric Andre, Max Greenfield, Nick Kroll, Paul Scheer and Anthony Jeselnik just to name a few.
Exclusive spirit sponsor Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey kept the actors and comedians’ thirst quenched with specialty cocktails including the Kilbeggan® Funny Guy Fizz, Kilbeggan® Comedy Smash and Kilbeggan® Last Laugh.
Coincidentally, these comic cocktails also make great holiday cocktails. Recipes are below.
Here is just some of the hilarity that ensued last weekend at the Variety Power of Comedy gathering:
· Seth MacFarlane angry about a leaked Star Trek video shown during the Variety Power of Comedy event in his honor, defied his publicist and brought a glass of Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey on stage.
