About the event

Contentious Debate - When Life Gives You Sour Grapes, It’s 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 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

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:
Entrée
Silken tofu and mizuna salad with Earl Grey soymilk dressing, plus seasonal fruits and vegetables

Main Course
Choose one:
-250g medium-rare rump steak served with kipfler potatoes, Mediterranean-style pomegranate and green bean salad, and Contentious Character red wine jus.
-Mixed vegetable bibimbap with portobello mushrooms and gochujang sauce (vegetarian option).

Want to end your night on a sweet note? Pre-order your dessert for the ultimate treat (just a heads up: desserts are extra and not included in your ticket, so there’ll be a little additional charge).

Here’s what’s on our dessert menu:
-Cheese Platter $20 (GF) - A selection of three cheeses (30g each), served with dried fruit and crackers.
-Mascarpone Chestnut Tiramisu $21 (GF)
-Mandarin Coconut Panna Cotta $20 (GF, V)
-Seasonal Gelato Trio $18 (GF, V)

Guests will be seated at long communal tables, creating a vibrant, festive atmosphere perfect for the evening’s entertainment. This is the Saturday night everyone in Canberra is talking about. Don’t miss out - grab your tickets before they’re gone. It’s going to be raucous. It’s going to be epic. See you there!
