Melanie Bracewell - Forget Me Not

What do you do when you want to be remembered, but your boyfriend develops acute short term memory loss? Write a stand up comedy special about it, of course! After taking New Zealand and Australia by storm with rave reviews, Melanie Bracewell has released her debut special ‘Forget Me Not’. A show about desperately trying to be remembered, love, and eggs. Melanie expertly weaves comic strands of relatable humour, with an unbelievable story tying it all together.

You may have seen her work in ‘Wellington Paranormal’ as a writer for all four seasons of the smash-hit comedy series. One of her episodes took out ‘Best Comedy Script’ in the New Zealand Television Awards. Or you’ve seen her on TikTok, where her videos impersonating Jacinda Ardern went global, appearing on the BBC.

But stand-up comedy is where Melanie shines. She has won the Billy T Award and Best Newcomer Award in the New Zealand Comedy Festival, Directors Choice in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and was hand-selected in 2023 to perform in the prestigious Just For Laughs festival in Montreal.
