Contentious Comedy Debate

When life gives you sour grapes, it is time to wine!

Ready for a night that mixes great wine, delicious food, and raucous laughter? Join us for the fourth Contentious Comedy Debate! We’ve teamed up with Contentious Character Urban Winery to bring you a night of sharp wit, mouth-watering bites, and top-tier wine - all for your very fine palate. Watch our quick-thinking debaters go head-to-head, trading hilarious lines as they debate the topic:

When life gives you sour grapes, it is time to wine!

It is a superb lineup. We have performers who have toured shows to Melbourne and Sydney festivals and national RAW comedy finalists. And for a first in comedy debates anywhere (in the world probably) our opposing team captains are mother and daughter! Both are comedy stars in their own right!

Moderator: Caitlin Maggs
Affirmative: Joanna Richards (Team Captain), Charlotte Kuruc & Greg Kimball
Negative: Jacqui Richards (Team Captain), Sarah Ison & David Graham

Arrive early - the bar’s open all afternoon, so you can get in the mood before the show. Once we kick off, you’ll enjoy a fabulous two-course dinner served alongside a full helping of funny. Here’s the menu:
