Portrait of Melanie Bracewell.

Brace yourself for belly laughs as fan favourite Kiwi comic heads to The Opera House.

Kiwi comedienne Melanie Bracewell is preparing to take on Wellington at The Opera House. Her brand-new stand-up show is part of a tour of Australia and New Zealand in 2024. Melanie promises to bring you her signature brand of relatable, goofy, and punchline-heavy comedy.

The Billy T Award winner (2018) cohosts TV show 'The Cheap Seats' where the previous weeks’ news receives humorous commentary. You may have also seen her embarrassing herself on ‘Taskmaster NZ’.

“Amusing extrapolations interspersed with snappy one-liners are fashioned into a blitzing, clever, supremely satisfying set.”
