Join comedy musician Chris Sainton-Clark as he takes you through his troublesome and hilarious experiences of working in pubs. After years of toiling away behind a rural bar, witnessing fist-fights, fruit-machine addicts, lecherous old men and compulsive liars, Chris decided to consolidate his experiences into song form. His tales include stories of a legend in the pub known only for his blatant lies, a drag queen who could make any bigot get up and dance, a hopeless romantic named Barry and many more.
Each of Chris’ songs has a satirical outlook at pub culture and toxic masculinity that will leave you thinking, ‘I know that person’ or maybe… ‘I am that person’. Armed with just a guitar, a whole lot of sarcasm and many musical stories, Pub Tales with its inventive musical take on comical observation, is sure to keep you entertained.
Since embarking on his journey as a storyteller, Chris has played Glastonbury Festival, won 9 theatre awards, and sold out a tour in New Zealand. He blends comedy, rhythmic guitar patterns and spoken word together to create a truly unique sound, that draws on something entirely relatable to anyone who’s ever stepped foot in a pub.
