In 2014 Mel wrote and performed her own TEDxBrisbane talk. She performed her solo show Hands on Heads at the Brisbane Powerhouse at the beginning of 2020 and a recording of that show has since been released and is available to download as a podcast by ABC Comedy Presents.

No stranger to a challenge, Mel appears on Network 10’s Taskmaster and in the seventh series of reality show, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia.
