🤭 Mel Moon & Tal Davies: BYOB (Bring Your Own Bestie) – WARM UP - The Hat Factory Arts Centre

🎤 Phil McIntyre Live Ltd proudly presents
Mel Moon & Tal Davies: BYOB (Bring Your Own Bestie) - Work in Progress.

▪️AGE: 16+

🤭 ABOUT
When viral online sensation Mel Moon (over 300 million views) asked her bestie, comedian Tal Davies (BBC Three/Radio 4) if she fancied a girl’s night out, Tal was well up for it. What Mel didn’t fully explain was that she was inviting all of you out with them. Bring your bestie and prepare to sing, dance, drink, and most importantly LAUGH with two of the UK’s most relatable, frazzled middle aged (yes Tal 35 is middle aged) women. If nothing else, you’ll feel better about your own life.
