What people say about Mel AS A SPEAKER
"We invited Mel to do a 15-minute performance at our event. He made the entire audience in the hall laugh during the whole time, thanks to his refreshingly unique Irish-German humour. Mel prepared well, asking us detailed questions about the audience beforehand. He managed to appeal to a heterogeneous crowd of 700 people, having brought jokes about culture, language, relationships, getting older, business life and even the hair on his body! We would gladly have him on stage again!"

"Mel was a speaker at the 'Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life' at the Fraunhofer Society in Munich. Mel understands highly technical topics such as Artificial Intelligence and he also understands how to make it fun and very entertaining for a 150 strong technical audience. His humour resonated with the audience who were entertained and laughing throughout and made it a great success."

„Was macht man wenn man zum 50. Geburtstag jemanden total überraschen und alle geladenen Gäste begeistern will? Man lädt Mel Kelly ein, erzählt ihm ein wenig wer da feiert und wer so alles kommen wird. Dann darf man sich allerdings nicht wundern wenn die skurillen Besonderheiten anderer Nationen, aber gerade auch die typisch deutschen Verhaltensweisen aus irischer Sicht kommentiert werden. Heraus kommen messerscharfe satirische Analysen die auch vor dem Geburtstagkind und dessen Gästen nicht Halt machen. Daneben gibt es Höhepunkte aus dem aktuellen Comedy-Programm. Die Gästen waren amüsiert, die Beschenkte begeistert und Mel das Highlight unserer Feier - danke!“

"Mel did two very entertaining performances at this year’s Irish/Bayrisch festival in front of 1000 people at the Rindermarkt in downtown Munich. Adopting to the occasion he switched to German for his very well received Stand-Up Comedy routine in which he gave insights into what life is like for an Irishman living in Bavaria’s capital city. Both performances were rewarded by enthusiastic applause from the festival audience."
