About Mel & Sam
Mel & Sam are an award-winning, queer, Gen-Z musical comedy duo from Naarm, known together primarily for their high octane, brilliantly chaotic and somewhat-unhinged musical comedy sketch shows which feature entirely original tracks and scores.Their body of work includes ‘No Hat, No Play! The Cabaret’, ‘Shit-Wrecked!’, ‘High Pony’ and most recently ‘The Platonic Human Centipede’ - all of which have opened and then toured the country to sell-out crowds and critical acclaim.The girls were signed to create a Spotify Original Podcast - ‘Mel & Sam’ - which sat at #2 on the Spotify Comedy Charts and this year were also the recipients of the APRA Musical Theatre Professional Development Award. Their other awards include a Green Room Award for 'Best Original Songs', a 'Best Cabaret' win at Adelaide Fringe, a 'Critic's Choice' win at Perth Fringe and a prestigious Golden Gibbo nomination. Mel and Sam are known for their spiky attitude, for their ability to speak to and to truly represent a ‘Gen Z’ or ‘youth’ voice, for bridging the gap between theatre kids and people-who-would-rathr-die-than-be-called-a-theatre-kid, for their assuredness in what they can bring to the table and often also for their fierce representation of queer joy in all their work.Their works are famously balanced with equal parts of high precision and a looseness that always allows for them to shine when ‘things go wrong.’ This bitches love to improv, love to ad lib and love to make space to let eachother shine.
