Mr Watts brought a travelling troupe of five funny folk to Nashdale Lane Wines for an afternoon of music, food, wine and stand-up.
He said comedy and wine just work well together, which is why he called on his friends Tanya and Nick Ryan-Segger to bring the event to their winery.

People come in a good mood and they leave in a great mood, Mr Watts said.
Mr Ryan-Segger said the cellar door had four extras workers behind the bar, theyd hired three security guards and their accommodation was booked out or being used as a green room for the comedians.
It was all worthwhile to see people enjoying the sun among their vines.
Orange is just kind of showing off a bit today, Mr Ryan-Segger said.
Mel Hamling was part of a group of seven friends from Orange visiting the winery for the first time.
Its funny how you need an event to enjoy something in your own backyard, she said.
