Mel Buttle – Taking My Sunglasses Off To Hear You Better 2025

A Token Event

Mel Buttle returns to the Ipswich Civic Centre stage as part of our 50th Anniversary series, celebrating the rich history of performing arts across Ipswich. 

Mel Buttle is a busy bee.

From juggling a toddler to sold out shows across the country to appearances on The Project and Taskmaster and keeping her millions of fans online happy, as the creator behind Australia’s favourite online mum character ‘Lyn’ – she needs a lie down.  Lucky for you she’s very good at comedy too.

You remember how it felt when the Bookclub brochure arrived at school? She’s hoping this show brings you even just a sliver of that amount of joy/bliss/hope/happiness.

“Buttle’s dry critique of the perils of life has the audience in hysterics.” ★★★★ The Age

“If you’re looking for an hour full of laughs with no filter, Mel is one to catch.” Scenestr, 2024

“Enchanting and hilarious.” ★★★★★ The Advertiser, 2025
