are award winning, true-blue entertainers. Their 2-woman variety show features stand-up comic verse, outrageous yarns, Aussie bush poetry, a bit of singing and a lot of bull. These versatile ink-slinging wordsmiths will tickle your fancy and touch your heart.
Mel and Susie toured Australia for nearly 10 years performing everywhere from campfires to corporate events. They entertained and educated school kids all over the country and delivered adult workshops on writing, performing and memorising bush poetry.
They love festivals and you might have caught them at Tamworth, the Gympie Muster, Stone the Crows or Parkes Elvis Festival; or perhaps at their winter residency (out in Winton, Qld for years) and now in Lightning Ridge, NSW where they perform daily through winter at The Opal Park and run their own Bush Theatre ‘A Hidden Gem.

He is also an accomplished judge who has worked on the board of many festivals ‘around the traps’.
