Sat 7 June / Exeter Comedy Festival: Mel Owen

We're excited to be hosting Mel Owen for Locally Sourced's returning comedy festival: 

‘One to watch’ (The Scotsman) and ‘Obviously multi-talented’ (Ed Fringe Review), Mel Owen brings her new show, Melodrama, to Exeter Comedy Festival.

As turning 30 looms, Mel did not expect to revert to her teenage ways. Dating somebody just because he drives a van (not in a murdery way), turning to her mum for advice that she will wholly ignore then cry when it all goes wrong? How very Melodramatic (Mel-O-dramatic…like Mel Owen…never mind).

Mel has spent the last year touring as support for Welsh comedy stars Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Elis James, as well as performing sell-out shows in Machynlleth, Aberystwyth, Bristol and Edinburgh.

In May 2024 Mel performed at the Netflix Is A Joke comedy festival in Los Angeles.

Mel is a familiar voice on BBC Radio 4’s comedy features and is a regular panellist on BBC Wales’ satirical panel show What Just Happened. She has writing credits on Channel 4, BBC One, Radio 4 and recently Netflix.
