In her third stand-up performance, Internet Sensasie, Mel finally reveals what she really thinks about this electronic jungle filled with hungry lions, eager flamingos and tactless apes. She tells of the lady next door’s unhealthy obsession with TikTok and likes, an influencer that keeps her pair of thrifted pants up with a shoelace, and Oom Gert’s big blunder on the community’s Facebook page. As usual, Mel’s stories take a few turns – you think you’re nearing the end when she takes a sharp left and surprises you with an anecdote of her husband’s new sleep time accessory. Expect interesting stories (funny), dance moves (not so funny) and a song or two (well, she tries). This show creates room for lots of laughter, and space to contemplate your own phone manners. “Mel makes you feel at home. You want to listen to what she has to say, and on top of that, you laugh so much.” – Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck thrifted broek bo hou met ’n skoenveter en Oom Gert se groot fout op die gemeenskap se Facebook-blad. Soos gewoonlik het Mel se stories ’n klomp draaie – jy dink jy is op pad na die einde, dan swaai sy skerp links en gooi jou met ’n onverwagse staaltjie oor haar man se nuwe slaaptydbykomstigheid. Verwag interessante stories (snaaks), danspassies (nie so snaaks nie) en ’n lied of twee (ag, sy probeer). Daar is plek vir baie lag en ruimte om te dink aan jou eie foonmaniere. “Mel laat jou tuis voel. Jy wil luister wat sy sê. En dan lag jy boonop baie.” – Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck
