About this episode

Mel Buttle is one of Australia’s favourite comedians and self-declared number one fan of the Matildas.

You might recognise her as the creator behind Australia's favourite online mum character 'Lyn' or from the latest season of Taskmaster.

In this chat with Antoinette Lattouf, Mel opens up about her struggles with severe bullying, ongoing homophobia, and feeling rejected by her wife’s family at what should be a time of blissful newlywed joy.

Mel is currently touring her hit comedy show Not Here to Put Socks on Centipedes after sell-out performances at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Sydney and Brisbane Comedy Festivals.
