A cellar door experience offering a comedic twist
Ever wondered what wine goes best with fairy bread? Why the “champagne spider” hasn’t caught on?
These questions and many more will be inadequately answered by the selfstyled sommeliers of comedy Damian Callinan and Paul Calleja in “The Wine Bluffs” at the West Gippsland Arts Centre on Friday, June 7 at 8pm.
Following sold-out shows across the country, these well-cellared comedians continue to wow audiences in 2019 by doing what they do best -hilarious prattling about wine.
Laying spurious claim to a reputation as renowned wine consultants, the duo, fresh from judging the “Fruit Wine Section” at “The Rockhampton Show”, will take the audience through the cellar door experience with a comedic twist.
They’ll help you match wine to Chiko Rolls, translate over-written bottle blurbs and identify the biggest Wine Snob in the room. Note: if you have a wine fridge set on two temperatures…it’s probably you.
They’ll assist you in creating the illusion that you know what you are doing even if you don’t.
They’ll have you swirling, gripping, inhaling and tasting, before moving onto the wines.
The union of Callinan (Melbourne Fringe Comedy winner and three-time Barry Award Nominee) and Calleja (standup and writer on “Before the Game” and countless other TV shows), has everyone’s palate salivating as they prepare to uncork their latest vintage and let the comedy breathe.
The 60-minute show will be performed in the Theatre Two space.
The show is for 18 years plus due to the subject matter revolving around alcohol, strong language and adult themes.
Tickets are $43 for general, $39 for concession, $38 for groups and $35 for members.
