Melanie Bracewell: Ooh La La | GC Laughs 2022

Picture this: You enter a dimly lit bar. Hold on, is that award-winning comedian Melanie Bracewell? She gestures for you to sit down. She orders you the finest cocktail on the menu (under 20 dollars). You get talking, drinking and laughing the night away. It’s an unforgettable evening. Have you made a new best friend? That’s what this comedy show will feel like. (Cocktails not included).

Spend an hour with Melanie Bracewell (Cheap Seats, Have You Been Paying Attention), as she talks about the joys of being just a little bit fancy.

At just 26 years old, Melanie is taking the comedy world by storm.

The Kiwi won the prestigious “Best Newcomer” award for her first solo show in the NZ International Comedy Festival. With goofy observations and natural stage charisma, Melanie is a master of anecdotes. In 2018, Melanie won the famed “Billy T Award”, in 2019 she performed as part of the invite-only Just For Laughs Comedy Festival at the Sydney Opera House, and in 2021 she won the coveted Directors’ Choice Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

And she only got busier in 2021, co-hosting ‘The Cheap Seats’, which has just been renewed for 2022 and making regular appearances on ‘Have you Been Paying Attention?’ in Australia and New Zealand. When she’s not on stage, Melanie is a social media powerhouse. Whether she’s filming content for her TikTok channel, which has has over eight million likes, writing for the more than 250,000 followers of her meladoodle.tumblr.com blog or desperately trying to get her jokes down to 140 characters for her slightly less popular Twitter profile, @meladoodle, Melanie has social media covered. Her tweets have been featured on Buzzfeed, Playboy (the funny parts not the nude parts) and the New York Times.
