Melissa McGlensey

The Briefing

Melissa’s debut solo show toured to the UK!

Including the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival

and Latitude Music Festival 2023.

The full press kit and media release can be found here. Get in touch for more information, reviewer comps, interviews and more!

Born out of her obsession with global politics and her love for biting satire, The Briefing is a genre-defying piece of character comedy. Join Melissa for an event that is part comedic press briefing, part character stand-up, and part improvised Q&A session.

Don’t forget to bring your questions!

“7:80“ is a satirical sketch Melissa made with Lance Turnbull as part of a commission from Melbourne Fringe Festival 2020 for their “Fringe Roulette“ digital comedy event. In it, Melissa uses her Sarah Huckabee character to reference a recent interview with Australian journalist Leigh Sales.

THROWBACK is the late-night, nostalgia-filled comedy talent show that asks comedians to do an encore performance of their breakout role from childhood.
