Lineup

Host of Chanel 10s The Cheap Seats, Winner of Director’s choice award at the Melbourne Comedy Festival 2021, and seen regularly smashing it out of the park on Have You Been Paying Attention?, Melanie Bracewell is possibly the most in demand comedian in the country right now.

Melanie Bracewell

Peter Helliar has been one of Australia’s favourite comedians since his first appearance on our TV screens on Rove back in 1999. Pete has performed stand up for more than twenty years, selling out shows right across the country, where he makes the difficult business of being funny look dead easy.

Scotty is quite possibly the funniest person in Australia, whether she’s touring the country with best pal Judith Lucy, joining the team on Have You Been Paying Attention?, or on stage at a winery, you are guaranteed a good time.

Denise Scott

Stand-up Comedian. Radio Host. Actor. Dickhead. Nick Cody’s style of easy going comedy sees him consistently selling out shows and over-achieving his way around the globe, and headlining shows in every corner of Australia.

Whenever we can get Mel out of Brisbane and into wine country we do! She’s the absolute best, whether you know her from Bake Off, The Project, or as her internet persona “mum”, Mel’s at her absolute best on the Grapes of Mirth stage about three glasses of wine down (in our humble opinion).

Mel Buttle

The “Merric” from Merrick and Rosso. Mez, as he is affectionately known, has worked at almost every radio and TV station in the country. You might have seen him recently getting smashed in the face on SAS Australia, Australia’s REAL reality show. Mez loves wine, so much so that he’s a qualified sommelier, with dreams of retiring to a big Chesterfield, smoking a cigar and drinking Cabernet.

If Grapes of Mirth falls in a Vineyard and DJ Pedro Moshman isn’t there to pick us up and get us dancing, did GoM really ever happen? No, it did not. No Pedro, No Party.

Can I leave the event and come back later?

We do not provide pass-outs at the event. Please bring everything with you that you will require on the day.

Can I smoke at the event?

Yes, but you must stick to the designated smoking area, and please ensure you use the ashtrays.

What time does it all start and finish?

We will release a full schedule closer to the event, but gates will open at 12:45pm, with the comedy starting from 2:00pm. DJ Pedro Moshman will play his last track just before 7:00pm, which is the official end time.

What about car parking and bus services running to and from the event?

There will be on-site parking and there are return buses running from Geelong and Torquay. Bus tickets are available when you purchase your tickets. Please check the departure locations and times to ensure they suit your requirements.

What can I bring to the event, and what is prohibited?

We recommend you bring something to sit on (chair/blanket), a large brimmed hat, and something warm (depending on the final forecast). We’ve put together a kick-ass selection of food and beverages, so please don’t bring your own. Also, no hard eskies, but soft cooler bags with ice blocks is all good to keep your drinks cold throughout the day – and feel free to bring your own empty refillable drink bottles and / or sealed bottles of water. To look after the ecosystem of the vines we also ask that you don’t bring pets (official assist animals will be permitted). Also, no professional photography equipment.

Will there be shade?

This is an outdoor event, please prepare accordingly for all weather conditions. We will do our best to provide as much shade protection as possible, but unfortunately, it is not feasible for us to provide shade for all attendees. Depending on the final forecast, we will make further announcements to ensure that everyone is as comfortable as possible.

Can I bring a child?

This is an 18+ event due to the nature of the comedy and content, no children are permitted. If you have a dependent young baby that you would like to bring along, we ask that you email us to arrange this – [email protected]
