Mel Buttle
How would you describe yourself after an uncomfortable night’s sleep?
"A grumpy b****."
Mel Buttle is a not only a hilarious bundle of contradictions, but a package that is rapidly making herself felt in all mediums, right across the country.
Her first solo show in 2010, scored her a nomination for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Since then, Mel has been going from strength to strength, performing her shows on the live Aussie comedy circuit.
Having written for Ronny Cheing International Student, The Drum, You’re Skitting Me and Please Like Me, Mel is also a sought-after writer.
On the small screen, Mel has featured on The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, Tractor Monkeys, Back Seat Drivers, It’s A Date and 7Days, as well as 10’s The Project, Hughesy, We Have a Problem and This Week Live.
In 2015, Mel found out she can have her cake and eat it too, scoring the job of co-host on The Great Australian Bake Off, alongside friend Claire Hooper and judges Maggie Beer and Matt Moran for the next four years.
This year Mel performed her new solo show Hands on Heads at the Brisbane Powerhouse. An audio recording of the hilarious show is available to download as a podcast through ABC Comedy Presents.
