Mel Buttle is Sorry she asked!
Mel Buttle has just announced her brand new tour of Australia, Well, Sorry I Asked!, playing more than 20 dates, taking in capital cities and regional centres from February to October 2027. It includes seasons at the Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne Comedy Festival, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane Comedy Festivals.
This new show promises to cover the big topics – Perimenopause. East 17. Is Broccolini an overpriced twig? If you’ve made it to here, Mel Buttle has the show for you! Fresh from opening for Jim Jefferies on his Australian tour, Mel is bringing her signature dry and blisteringly accurate standup around Australia with a brand-new show.
Mel debuted at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2010 with Sista Got Flow, earning a Best Newcomer nomination. She has previously won Best Comedy at the Sydney Fringe for Stop It, You Are!, then the Directors’ Choice Award at the Melbourne Comedy Festival for How Embarrassment. On screen, she co-hosted The Great Australian Bake Off and has appeared on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, The Weekly with Charlie Pickering and Spicks and Specks. Her stand-up special Let Me Know Either Way? was nominated for an AACTA Award. Her previous shows drew strong reviews. The Advertiser gave her five stars, calling her work “enchanting and hilarious”, while The Age awarded four stars for her dry take on everyday life.
It’s been a big year for Australia’s favourite online mum Lyn, television star, and award-winning stand-up powerhouse Mel Buttle. Between daycare drop offs, and going viral with her online mum character Lyn, Mel has been quietly crafting her most fearless hour of stand-up yet.
Expect an evening of authentic stand up that will have you laughing in the group chat for weeks.
