Experience live stand up comedy in the heart of the Hunter Valley. For one night only, the Barrel Room at Saddler's Creek Wines in Pokolbin transforms into an intimate comedy lounge for Comedy All Stars, part of the Saddler's After Hours evening series.

Saturday 13 June 2026. Three of Australia's sharpest stand up comics, a three course Italian dinner crafted by Venetian born Chef Chiero, and boutique Hunter Valley wines poured just metres from where they were made.

What to Expect

The Barrel Room seats a limited number of guests around shared tables for a relaxed, communal evening. Dinner is served before the show, then comedy begins from 8:00pm with reserved seating at your dinner table. The full lineup runs approximately 90 minutes with a short interval. Saddler's Creek wines are available by the glass and bottle throughout the evening.
