You may recognize Melanie from her appearance on Comedy Central, although she doubts it. She has also been featured on The Moth Radio Hour, Kidd Kraddick in the Morning, KXLU, GSN and the Story Worthy podcast. You can read all of Melanie's stories on The Nail Biter blog.
Melanie recently moved to a different state and changed her last name (Reno). No she didn't kill anyone. She just got married and moved to Nashville—to avoid the 405 freeway.
Melanie started out as a stand-up comedic while earning a B.A. at San Diego State University in A.A.C. (Advanced Alcohol Consumption). After graduating with high honors, Melanie moved to Los Angeles to join the rest of the sane, sound-minded comedians. Her quirky ways quickly caught the eye of a big time Hollywood agent who got her the spot on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend."
A few years later, Melanie decided to combine her comedy and anxiety disorder into a longer performance style called storytelling. Melanie's first show Robbed and Overdrawn - a somehow hilarious account of her 2007 ATM attack - was invited to play at The Comedy Central Stage.
Since then, Melanie has become a published humorist by successfully transforming her live performance pieces into fun to read stories. You can catch up on all her on anxiety-inducing adventures at The Nail Biter.
Melanie is the creator of That Time of the Month - a female storytelling show that started in Venice Beach and now plays in Nashville. She's currently putting together a 'best of book' with the Venice stories and building the new live show in Nashville at Bongo After Hours Theatre.
