Amalfi Roast Encore

A sold-out show. A two-minute standing ovation. Melia Naughton returns for an encore.

In Amalfi Roast, Melia Naughton presents her one-woman show — a fast-paced music comedy packed with rapid-fire, monumental misadventures set to song, serving up the juicy (and often messy) moments of a well-squeezed life. There are also some very special guest appearances with dancing numbers — but you’ll have to come along to find out more.

The award-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist sings her way through disaster dates, a rendezvous with Chris Hemsworth, puppy school pandemonium, peri-menopausal pubic hair overshares and self-checkout supermarket humiliation. It’s human, heartfelt, honest and hilarious.

Melia presented the show in its one-woman format at the Sydney Fringe Festival where she was shortlisted for Best in Cabaret and Musical Theatre. Then she performed a sold-out season at the Melbourne Fringe Festival and was shortlisted for Best in Music.

She is beyond delighted to return to the Byron Theatre and to play the divine Steinway, accompanied by some extra special surprises.

“The show has grown and evolved and I’m spilling the beans but there are some new songs and some rather hilarious surprises.” she says.
