Pairing Wine with Comedians
Sip, swirl, and giggle at The Grapes of Laughs—a comedy and wine pairing show hosted by Ophira Eisenberg (NPR, The Moth), and featuring Michael Ian Black (Wet Hot American Summer, The State, Stella) and hometown favorite Rachel Lenihan.
Each comic’s set is matched with the perfect wine, blending bold reds, crisp whites, and big laughs for a night that’s part stand-up, part sommelier, all fun. 4 comics, 4 wines, all perfectly paired.
Presented with wine partner Fulton & Forbes Wine & Spirits, Ancram.
From dry approachable whites to bold complex reds, each wine will complement the tone and energy of the comedian’s style, creating a truly immersive experience. Our wine expert and host lead the audience through the tasting of wine and then segue to introducing the comic whose person and act is a perfect pairing to it!
Standup and creator of the show Ophira Eisenberg, who is an aspiring wine snob, wanted to create something unique where comedy lovers and wine enthusiasts can come together at Stissing Center for a night of fun, laughter, and a little wine education. Just like a great wine, comedy can have its own distinct flavors, and this show gives the audience a chance to taste the perfect pairing for every punchline.
