Event Details


Merrick Watts is bringing his hit show An Idiot’s Guide to Wine to Canberra in 2025!

Merrick isn’t just a comedian, he’s also a qualified wine expert who judges at some of the most prestigious wine shows around the country. He also has an incredible number of qualifications in being an idiot.

Over the course of the evening, you’ll taste six standout Australian wines, personally handpicked by Mez. He’ll share tasting notes, snack pairings and plenty of highly questionable wisdom. It’s part wine masterclass, part stand-up comedy and 100% fun.

Having toured the show across festivals in Australia and beyond, An Idiot’s Guide to Wine has entertained thousands. Some even claim they’ve learned something, though Merrick insists that’s purely coincidental.


It’s wine. It’s comedy. It’s a good time guaranteed. Whether you're a seasoned sipper or just in it for a laugh, this show has something for everyone.Ticket price includes six wine tastings.

Get a group of mates together and book now for this perfect pre-dinner experience!

Comedy meets wine, laughter meets learning, and you get to drink! What more could you want?


PLEASE NOTE: this show includes a wine tasting and is suitable for 18+ only.

Includes: 6 x 50ml of Australian wine and 70 minutes of side-splitting comedy.
