2015 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Upon deciding to end her own suffering after being diagnosed with a rare endocrine disease, mum of two and comedian Mel Moon (35), began to write her journey using the best medicine she had access to, comedy.

Soon after she became the youngest member of the Euthanasia organisation Exit and began fine tuning the details required in order to reach a peaceful end.

But Mel didn't die (if she did the afterlife is a bit of a disappointment) and instead began turning those pages into a one woman stand-up show called Sick Girl.

Initially the show was to be a collaboration between Mel and Dr. Philip Nitschke, founder of Exit International however, creative differences meant that Mel found herself solo once more and having stripped back the material to give you an honest account of why such a young woman with two small children would make a decision like this; the show is now ready to share with you.

At a time when the debate as to whether Assisted Suicide should be legalised here in the UK a show has never had more relevance. Mel shares her experience of the world that is Euthanasia and how keeping it in the dark actually costs more lives than it saves. This is also the only show where the voice is that of the patient itself. It is a great story of human interest, warmth and how against all the odds, this young lady is still in with a chance of her happy ending.

Mel recently had her story in the Independent, The Guardian with TV appearances on London Tonight on ITV, London Live's entertainment show, and Sky News Sunrise. Mel has also done Radio for BBC Radio Essex, Sussex & Kent.
