Hello, we are Melon Comedy

We’re a global gaggle of writers, performers & recovering advertising creatives. First started in 2017 by author Lorelei Mathias, we’ve been making award-winning, silly short films from Melbourne to London, about the madness of the modern world.

With our core team of neurodiverse creatives, we have a unique lens through which to reflect how insane modern life can be. For us, Comedy is the best meds. And we should know, we’ve tried everything else on the NHS. We’re square pegs in the ‘normal world’ but when you combine the chaos of our ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) writers with the black & white clarity of our ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) editor, you get a special kind of comic magic.

Read about us in The Guardian here, and The BBC. We’ve had work run on BBC Radio 4, Channel 7, and have made small contributions to Dead Ringers, Comedy Central, and the new series of Audible’s Green Wing and various other shows.

To hire us neurodivergent clowns to make you some content, or consult on your show get in touch in the ‘work with us’ tab.
