Backed by a live jazz trio, Melinda's show is a sophisticated romp through social and political satire, packed with provocative original songs on internet trolling, cougars, hipsters, sex-pest cowboys as well as an appearance by Melania Trump. Melinda has been a sell-out success at Crazy Coqs (London) and The Metropolitan Room (New York). 'So clever... every pun hit the mark' **** (Times). 'Delightfully playful, devastatingly funny and deliciously entertaining' ***** (LondonTheatre1.com). 'Scandalous and timely' (Vanity Fair). 'A brilliant cabaret goddess, a satirist of high order' (NewYorkSocialDiary.com).
