Melodrama

‘One to watch’ (The Scotsman) and ‘Obviously multi-talented’ (Ed Fringe Review), Mel Owen returns to Machynlleth Comedy Festival with her new show, Melodrama.

As turning 30 looms, Mel did not expect to revert to her teenage ways. Dating somebody just because he drives a van (not in a murdery way), turning to her mum for advice that she will wholly ignore then cry when it all goes wrong? How very Melodramatic

(Mel-O-dramatic…like Mel Owen…never mind).

Mel has toured as support for comedy stars Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Elis James and Emmanuel Sonubi, as well as having perfored sell-out shows in Machynlleth, Aberystwyth, Bristol and Edinburgh. In May 2024 Mel performed at the Netflix Is A Joke comedy festival in Los Angeles.

Mel is a co-presenter of Wales’ premier politics podcast, For Wales See Wales. She also presents on BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Radio Wales and is a familiar voice on BBC Radio 4 and Radio 2. She has writing credits on Channel 4, BBC Three, Radio Wales and recently Netflix.
