Melinda Hughes has performed internationally both as a solo artist herself and while performing as a soloist with the Andre Rieu Strauss Orchestra and has two albums to her name, Smoke & Noise and Weimar & Back. She has enjoyed many sell-out shows at Crazy Coqs (Live At Zedel), The Pheasantry Chelsea, Holders Festival Barbados, Government House in Bermuda and The Metropolitan Room in New York.
Having enjoyed a hugely successful run at The Edinburgh Festival Fringe last summer with her powerful Weimar show, MARGO: Half Woman, Half Beast at The Assembly Rooms, Melinda Hughes is delighted to be returning with her fabulous new show Melinda Hughes: Off The Scale at The Assembly Rooms – Drawing Room from 1st – 25th August.
Described by Vanity Fair as ‘scandalous and timely’ Melinda together with Musical Director Michael Roulston will entertain audiences with an eclectic evening of up-to-the-minute cabaret, satire comedy and musical comedy backed by a live jazz trio.
Off The Scale is a sophisticated romp through social and political satire, packed with provocative original songs on internet trolling, selfies, cougars, hipsters, sex-pest cowboys, as well as an appearance by special guest Melania Trump.
Melinda Hughes says: “I’m delighted to be returning to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this August with my new show, Off The Scale to perform some of my favourite satirical songs as well as brand new material. I’m practicing my satirical arpeggios every morning in the shower.”
