From TV Wise:
Drunk History features comedians getting very drunk in order to tell a true historical story they are passionate about. As they narrate these stories, slurred word for slurred word, a host of well-known actors, celebrities and other comedians act out these new, rather blurry versions of history. […]
Jimmy Carr is returning as the narrator for the second season, while Comedy Central UK and Tiger Aspect have already lined up a slew of celebrities for the new episodes. Emma Bunton, Jack Whitehall, Olivia Colman, Michelle Keegan, Hugh Dennis, Phil Jupitus, Tom Rosenthal, Vicky Pattison, Josie Long, Joe Lycett, Mathew Baynton, Nick Helm, Sara Pascoe, Jessica Knappett and Nish Kumar have all signed on to appear in season two.
“Now that our livers have just about recovered, it’s time to go again, this time bigger and better”, added Andy Brereton, Head of Comedy and Entertainment for Tiger Aspect Productions. “With Comedy Central’s help we’re aiming to bring viewers some of the biggest comedy names in the UK.”
