Lineup

Known as one of Australia’s most successful talk show hosts and one of the biggest producers of entertainment television, but standup comedy is where it all began for Rove, and we can’t wait to have him on the Grapes of Mirth stage, doing what he does best!

Rove McManus

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.

Merrick Watts

With a reputation as one of the best young comedians in the country, Bec showcased her comedy on the ‘Lockdown Comedy Festival’ stand-up series for Stan. She’s the co-host of the brilliant and widely popular ‘Ladies Guide to Dude Cinema’ podcast. With effortless ability and hilarious honesty, Bec delights with anecdotes about her life, observations on society and stories about her family.

Bec Charlwood

Greg Larsen is one of Australia’s people, fact. He’s also one of the funniest. Last year he was nominated for “Best Show” at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. That’s cool. He’s been making us laugh for years on stage and screen and was a regular on ‘Tonightly with Tom Ballard’. This is the first time we’ve been able to get Greg to a Grapes of Mirth!

Over the course of the last 15 years, Justin has won awards for his solo stand up comedy shows including the Director’s Choice Award at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. In 2011, The Arts Monthly announced that Justin was the Comedian of the Decade. In 2019 he won Best Comedy at the Adelaide Fringe Festival for the play Three Dances for John Tilt Animus which Justin wrote, directed and starred in.

Justin Hamilton

Bronwyn Kuss is one of the most exciting new voices in Australian comedy. She’s won a bunch of award including “Directors Choice” at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Bronwyn has two seperate degrees but more importantly she is also the only comedian we know who has worked in a women’s correctional facility. She’ll find Grapes of Mirth to her speed.

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.

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 1:45pm, with the comedy starting from 3:00pm. DJ Pedro Moshman will play his last track just before 8:00pm, which is the official end time.

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]
