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 the Canberra Comedy Festival 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
