Fake alcohol definitely does exist in China and is really pervasive. I believe you are familiar with the Shanghai bar situation and what you said may be true for those bars you saw. But if there is no guarantee on much of the alcohol then that is effectively the same as it being fake. I am a fan of single malt Scotch whisky living in Beijing and know what the real thing tastes like. But I have never tasted a real whisky in China, all tastes like vodka mixed with food colouring , or cheap whiskies mixed together with a heavy undertone of just raw alcohol.

I just like to point out that most of the interviee, except darren beatie all stopped doing english comedy or moved out of mainland, it is so weird that these people are giving opionions about china comedy when the actual comedy club like The Comedy Corner that has been operating non stop for two years didnt get any mention in here.
