No Such Thing As A Hedgehog In A Lifeboat

[upbeat music] Hey, everyone. Welcome to another episode of Fish. Dan here. Hope you're doing well. Just wanted to let you know before we get into the show about our guest joining us today. It's one of our favorites, someone who's joined us a number of times over the last few years. It is New Zealand comedian Melanie Bracewell. So Mel, if you haven't heard her on the show before, is someone whose work you may have seen in other places. Her stand-up clips are always popping up online for any doom scrollers out there. If you're an Aussie, you'll know her from the TV show she co-hosts called The Cheap Seats. If you're a fan of Taskmaster and have consumed all the international formats, you will have seen Mel on Series 4 of the New Zealand Taskmaster. And if you're a general connoisseur of comedy, it's good to know that she has had a hand in the writing of such shows as the rebooted Time Bandits, and also the absolutely brilliant Wellington Paranormal, of which she starred in two episodes as well. But this is all stuff that's on the screen over on the other side of the planet. What about us in the UK? Well, good news. Mel is in the country right now on a stand-up tour, literally happening as I speak. So the good news is you can see her in person doing the thing she does best, which is stand-up, with her new show called A Little Treat, and if you wanna find all the details for that, go to her Instagram. It's @melaniebracewell, or just Google her name and A Little Treat UK tour. It'll all come up, but basically, as of March 1st, she's gonna be in Norwich, then she's gonna be going to Brighton,
