MELT FESTIVAL 2025

Ten characters. One comedian. All chaos.

Dave and Tony just want to have the perfect day. Unfortunately, they've invited their family. From the well meaning best man to the judgemental aunt. Terrible bridesmaids to creepy uncles. They're all here. It's the wedding reception you never wanted, but always wanted to go to.

Join multiple award-winning comedian Andy Balloch for a queer, absurd, character sketch show about love and all the things that get in its way.
