In an experience that could only be described as goon bag in quantity, champagne in quality, comedians Sweeney Preston and Ethan Cavanagh will be joined by a wine expert as they guide you through five wines and at least five jokes.

Fresh from a residency in Las Vegas, a New York season at the Off-Broadway SoHo Playhouse, a smash-hit month in Toronto, an extended, sell-out season at the Edinburgh Fringe and multiple Australia-wide tours, this masterclass in mischief is finally returning home to Melbourne.

Everyone from worldly wine wankers to clueless chardonnay chuggers will find something to make their glass half full, as all the wine industry’s most hard-hitting questions are answered:

How far should I extend my pinky when sipping? What the f%*k is a tannin? And who’s parked in the clearway out front, you’re about to be towed?

Your ticket includes five wine tastings.
