Introduction
Two Drink Minimum is where artistry meets unfiltered conversation. Hosted by Gabriel Shaffer—visionary artist and owner of Mortal Machine Gallery—and Chris Trew—renowned comedian, producer, and founder of multiple comedy venues—this podcast dives into the minds of creatives, innovators, and rule-breakers.
With the house rule that “there is a two drink minimum,” every episode blends laughter, insight, and candid storytelling. From behind-the-scenes tales of the art world to the unpredictable grind of comedy, Gabriel and Chris pour out conversations as strong as the drinks in their hands.
