Summary

Prior to entering the Correct Realm Landlord John and his most trusted regular Robin Allender spent much of the pubbing life in the South West of England. Wickwar, Little Sodbury, Iron Acton, Pucklechurch... each place offering a different set of pubs to discover. Along the way they met some of the greatest Pubsman to ever live, and this week's guest is one such legend. It's comedian Russell Howard!

Russell has sampled many of the publy delights on offer across the globe, but it's in the South West that he feels most at home. That is, until he enters The Moon Under Water; the only pub in existence that can make all his dreams come true (provided they're pub based dreams). It looks like he's about to make his way through the mists, so Landlord John and Robin best get wiping that bar down.
