COMEDY
As always comedy is the hero of the festival, with an exclusive set from UK superstar Michelle De Swarte, other international comedians featuring include Ray O’Leary (NZ), Abby Howells (NZ), Takashi Wakasugi (JPN), and Ivan Aristeguieta (VNZ).
The huge Australian contingent features comedy sets from superstars including:

ZOË COOMBS MARR | SAM TAUNTON | NATH VALVO
BRONWYN KUSS | EMMA HOLLAND | DANE SIMPSON
&
Melbourne Comedy Festival Best Newcomer NOAH SZTO.
MUSIC
We're kicking the festival off in style with a huge Friday night set from time-travelling DJ superstar Hot Dub Time Machine
Then we're closing Saturday night out with Cabaret superstar Rueben Kaye and their live band who plan to blow the cherries out the tree.
Sammy J will be at the keys on the main stage on Sunday, Trevor Jones will bring his legendary piano bar to the Yarra Valley, we guarantee he’ll have you singing along in no time. Of course it wouldn’t be Comedy in the Vines without DJ Pedro Moshman.
WINE
We’re making the most of being in the heart of Australian wine by asking the legendary winemakers from our favourite vineyards to pop down and run a special cellar door activation at the festival where they will show off some of their favourite wines (the ones you can’t buy at Dan Murphy’s)
Wineries include:
YARRA YERING | MAC FORBES | DE BORTOLIHELEN & JOEY ESTATE | JAYDEN ONG | OAKRIDGESANTOLIN | SUTHERLAND ESTATE | TOKARTILLIE J | YERING FARM | PUNT ROADST HUBERTS | DENTON
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE
As if that’s not enough we have more!
You can Become a Certified Wine Expert with Master of Wine Meg Brodtmann MW, join Mez for our 5km Wine Fun Run with a wine stop every kilometre, enjoy a spot of bingo with Tina Del Twist, and sit back for In Vino Veritas a fireside chat over a bottle of wine with comedy royalty Judith Lucy.
