I am an award-winning comedian, a writer, speaker trainer and passionate old movie fan. I spent many years working in the publishing industry before jumping ship to pursue the work I truly love. The two areas I speak on are workplace culture and, you guessed it, old movies. In all cases I deliver talks from a position of great passion for my topic and always with plenty of humour. I travel all over the UK performing comedy and have appeared at numerous festivals, including the Edinburgh Fringe. I regularly talk about workplace culture to groups of businesspeople and to networking groups. Podcast appearances include Sticky From the Inside and The Cashflow Show. I co-host the Talking Pictures TV podcast and have written many articles on classic film-related topics for Yours Retro magazine. In addition, I am often asked to introduce film screenings. I am also a highly experienced comedy MC and am available to host and facilitate team away days, conferences etc. ‘May just make your day’ (Scotsman) ‘Sixty Minutes of Inspired Comedy’ (Lancs Post) ‘Highly recommended. A total tonic at our event. Just what we all needed.’ (Athena Networking) ‘You’ve awakened a whole new world for me.’ (Faversham Fringe Audience Review) ‘More from Mel, please.’ (Westminster Library Talk Attendee)
