I'm behind on my post-MICF posting BUT what an honor to have our weird lil show selected twice in The Age's roundup of "the best heckles, riskiest jokes and strangest moments" of the fest! @vidyarajan.bsky.social and I are also stoked we got to meet so many Gregs! now to sleep till the next fest!

Some beautiful praise for GREG from @keithgow.bsky.social at Theatre First! Only 5 more chances to get your greg on, 9:10 at Chinese Museum.

GREG is for Gregs and non-Gregs alike. It's a wild hour of alt-comedy from @vidyarajan.bsky.social and @melmcglensey.bsky.social and it was my final show of this year's comedy festival. It's Greggselent. www.keithgow.com/2025/04/revi...

Wow wowwow. @vidyarajan.bsky.social and I only ever set out to impress Gregs but some of the non-gregs at The Age said some lovely things about the show! Only one week left to catch the show, 9:10pm at The Chinese Mus until the 20th of April!

We opened GREG last night & it's been a blast. Come if u need a real dose of silliness this melbourne comedy festival. And pls bring a Greg!!! @melmcglensey.bsky.social

Loving this beautiful write up about @vidyarajan.bsky.social and my upcoming show, Greg. We open April 8th, get amongst it!

My mom gets very excited about Aussie animals but can’t remember their names super well. Just now she yelled out (very loudly) that she had seen a “huge blue tongue skank”

Australia is the only colonial nation to celebrate it's national day on the anniversary of the invasion by colonisers.

Here's a glimpse at one of the projects I'm doing next, as I get more involved making clown shows w/ @melmcglensey.bsky.social Hoping to debut our new show at <redacted>, fingers crossed! bsky.app/profile/melm...

Exciting new projects in the works 👀

Big week for me legally releasing some of the hate in my heart ☺️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just spotted my first ever WILD KOALA!! Am obsessed. I’ve named him Pickles and he’s my perfect marsupial son. Look at him jump!

Super cute lil write up by Xpress Magazine on Motorboat's origins and inspo ahead of our #PerthWorldFringe debut in Feb! 🛥️💕🛥️💕🛥️💕 xpressmag.com.au/mel-mcglense...

What he failed to mention is that somehow of the 5, I was the one chosen to relocate it. I am a hero.

Took this photo of my cat in the cat and it perfectly captures how my cat feels about being in the car

Major highlight of 2024 was going to the De Mol finale and chatting to cast and crew!

2025 resolutions

My resolution, and I think it’s doable, is to run so fast into a chain link fence that I come out as cubes.

if a woman tells you you have “nice hands” she is doing everything in her power not to fuck you senseless please release her from her torment her friends are receiving the kinds of messages someone in prison would send

Auspicious Aussie omen

I’ve never really been a numbers or stats person as I think there’s so much that is unquantifiable by that metric. But, having said that, I’d love to take a look back at what has been one of the best years of my life professionally (and personally! But that’s a different post).

Look at the bloody GREG on these gals!!! Ppl of Melbourne, if u need some very silly & absurd laughs this yr, u gotta come to GREG at comedy fest in April!! Featuring meeee and @melmcglensey and a [redacted] number of Gregs 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

You know why I love reading? These days it’s one of the few respites from being constantly advertised to.

Also in 2025, @melmcglensey.bsky.social and @vidyarajan.bsky.social are debuting a brand new duo comedy show GREG, at Melbourne Intl Comedy Festival in April: www.comedyfestival.com.au/browse-shows...
