What happens when Annie the Orphan, a cannibal (non-derogatory) and a netball team walk into a bar?

After pussy-poppin tours of ‘No Hat No Play’ and ‘Shit-Wrecked’, Mel & Sam are COMIN TO PERTH to yank you by ya ponytails through their most chaotic hour of musical sketch. With all-original songs, characters that absolutely DON'T need a ballad (Angela Anaconda - you greyscale bitch!) and dirty synth lines, this is high concept. High art. High pony.

Presented by: Mel & Sam

Mel & Sam are an award-winning musical comedy duo from Naarm/Melbourne bringing a razor-sharp, polished edge to the comedy scene (with equal measures of chaos!) They’re queer, horny, cheeky and unhinged, and here to stay. Having made a name for themselves with 3 shows ‘No Hat, No Play’, ‘Shit-Wrecked’ and now 'High Pony' (all of which have toured the country to sold-out crowds and critical acclaim), this duo are all about filling the hunger for some Gen Z f*ckery in the cabaret scene! Together, they have a Spotify-Original podcast (‘Mel & Sam’) as well as a Green Room win for 'Best Original Songs'. They are nominees of the prestigious Golden Gibbo comedy award, winners of ‘Best Cabaret’ at Adl Fringe and are currently working on a number of projects for stage and screen!
