Mel Buttle has had a cracker of a year. Her own spot on a national radio show, No.2 podcast on Australian iTunes and finally feeling comfortable at making eye contact with bus drivers. Despite her success Mel Buttle is writing this with Quavers-stained fingers, in her pyjamas, but wants you to know even though she's crippled by this awkward third person writing style she's very professional. If her porn career doesn't take off, expect to see Mel Buttle mature into one of the best Australian comics. ****1/2 (Herald Sun).
