Young Australian comedians Sweeney Preston and Ethan Cavanagh are bringing their show, "In Pour Taste: A Comedy Wine Tasting Experience," to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale. The duo, who arrived from Melbourne amid a heatwave, aim to entertain while also delivering a unique wine tasting experience through humor.
The show, popular from New York to Las Vegas, involves local wine experts who guide the audience in sampling a variety of wines while Preston and Cavanagh inject their comedic flair. Set in the intimate Abdo New River Room, the audience is seated at 45 tables, making for a cozy atmosphere. Attendees can expect five wine tastings along with personalized charcuterie boards, with performances scheduled Thursdays through Sundays until January 25.
The idea for "In Pour Taste" originated in a small wine bar in Melbourne, where the comedians sought to create a fun event that included plenty of wine. Their light-hearted banter extends to humorous exchanges about their experiences in America, noting the cultural differences in humor, particularly regarding sarcasm.
The conversation also touched upon their recent performances in Las Vegas and their plans to tour through Washington, D.C. Preston humorously remarked on America’s inability to handle the Australian sense of humor, while Cavanagh added that they were looking forward to performing in venues around the U.S.
"As much as we love Americans, I think the Australian sense of humor drives you people up the wall sometimes," Preston quipped, perfectly exemplifying the comedic dynamic of their show.
If you’re interested in attending, “In Pour Taste” runs through January 25, with tickets starting at $112.10, which includes the wine tastings and charcuterie. For more information, you can check out the Broward Center event page.
