Friday, April 11

Join us for an evening of knee-slappingly, hilarious stand-up comedy at the legendary Maverick Saloon.

The Maverick’s usual crowd-pleasing menu of food and drinks will be available for purchase at the bar.

Doors will open at 6:00pm and parking is available onsite.

Lineup TBD.

Guests are encouraged to stay after the show to enjoy the Jimi Nelson Band!

Be there or don’t be anywhere!

A li’l history for fellow Valley nerds: Since 1963, this iconic venue has had many incarnations which include a dance hall, a tool-rental facility, and a haven for lost dollar bills that now cling to its ceiling (don’t ask us how). But tonight we’re transforming this storied speakeasy into a comedy club featuring some of the hottest comics this side of the Santa Ynez River… and the other side too.

Saturday, April 12

Do you like beautiful vineyards? Hilarious stand up comedy? How ‘bout yummy food trucks? If you said yes to at least one of these then congratulations, you’re not a monster. If you love all three, then your Saturday night is now officially booked at Brander Vineyard.

This picturesque winery is located on the estate just yards from the nearest vines. And owner and winemaker Frederic “Fred” Brander is letting us take over his outdoor stage for an evening that will feature staggeringly side-splitting stand up comedy.

Team Brander will be pouring their spectacular wines and Fred himself has selected some of his personal favorite food vendors for the evening:

Doors will open at 6:00pm and parking is available onsite.

You may never forgive yourself if you miss this one.

Lineup TBD.

Sunday, April 13

We invite you to a boutique vineyard for an afternoon of lunch, laughter, and some heavy petting… of the animals of the SYV Humane society!

Showcasing breathtaking views, 27 Vines is a private venue designed to reflect a taste of rustic refinement in Santa Barbara wine country nestled within a terraced, sun-kissed estate amid acres of vineyards, heritage oaks and olive tree groves.

Future Perfect Wine will be proudly poured at this event. Future Perfect Wine is made from hand-gathered fruit, hand crafted in their winery from brilliant vineyards right here in Santa Barbara County, California by female winemaker/owner, Sunny Doench Stricker.

Gourmet box lunches prepared by Anna Vocino of Eat Happy Kitchen. The box lunches will include a sandwich (your choice of veggie or roast beef/gluten full or gluten free) and a number of delicious goodies as well. Boxed lunches can be pre-purchased with your ticket and will also available for purchase on-site for the unprepared.

The Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society / D.A.W.G. will also be at the event with animals available for adoption. Give some love to these animals in need or maybe even bring one home!

Doors will open at 11am. There will be limited parking onsite so carpooling is recommended. 

Lineup TBD.
