Canberra Comedy Festival would not be able to produce the event to the standard that it is without the help of our partners and supporters. Canberra Comedy Festival appreciates the support of their partners and supporters in presenting the festival:

BentSpoke

Nothing worthwhile comes easily. Taking the familiar road can rob life of its flavour. BentSpoke takes a more adventurous route, know­ing all too well that it will bend a few spokes along the way. BentSpoke is Canberra born and brewed. The brewery is the brainchild of champion Australian brewer Richard Watkins and Tracy Margin. They are bringing you super beers like Crankshaft, Barley Griffin, Sprocket, Morts Gold, Red Nut and a delicious Ginger Beer. Their products will be at all the festival venues.

Contentious Character

In 2024, Contentious Character left the country to become city slickers, bringing an urban winery experience to Fyshwick in Canberra's inner south. With a new venue comes new offerings. Every single day of the week, their doors are open. They are here to pour you a glass, serve you a meal and lend our ear for a yarn. We reckon there's not much better than good food, good wine and good company—and Contentious Character is here to make every moment count.
