Mel Buttle was working as a high school teacher in Brisbane when she made it to the Raw Comedy national final in 2008.
While Buttle did not win the competition, she did get to immerse herself in the comedy festival, seeing at least three comedy shows a night. Now Buttle herself is one of Australia's most-loved and acclaimed comedians: She won the festival's directors' choice award in 2013, hosted The Great Australian Bake Off, is a regular on The Project and Question Everything, and has racked up millions of likes for her TikToks in character as suburban mum Lyn.But she's still thrilled to be back among the vibe in Melbourne when she returns later this month with her new show Not Here to Put Socks on Centipedes .

"But, honestly, just go see anyone you've never heard of. It will, at best, be an amazing show, and, at worst, be cheap and bad and a fun anecdote to share with your friends."is at Canberra Comedy Festival, then will tour to Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Sydney comedy festivals, as well as Brunswick Heads and Newcastle.
