Melt
Sieberhagen - Comedian, Musician and Singer and MC - Johannesburg
Melt Sieberhagen is one of a new breed of comedians
making waves on the local scene. With a uniquely
South African point of view and an inherent
inability to sidestep touchy topics and holy cows.
Having been described as anything from “a slightly
angry teddy” to “a really funny Dutchman”, he’s just
a normal bloke looking at the funny side of living
in a very interesting and/or dysfunctional society.
After studying drama at the University of Pretoria,
he started working as presenter, actor, editor and
director. Television credits include Een Skoenlapper,
Isidingo, 7de Laan, Egoli, Scandal, Song vir Katryn
and Kompleks I & II.
On the big screen he has made his presence felt in
Oh Schucks, I’m Gatvol, Footkskating 101, Poena is
Koning, Superhelde and if you don’t blink you might
even spot him in the international hit District 9.

In 2005 he quit the production side in order the
make name for himself as an actor. This has yet to
prove to be a clever decision. However, stand-up
comedy opened a whole world of strangeness.
Melt hit the local stand-up comedy scene since 2006
and won the Jozi Comedy Showdown in 2008, giving him
a spot alongside some of the world’s finest
comedians at the Jozi Comedy Festival (as well as
the opportunity to teach them some dirty Afrikaans
words.). In the past three years he has become a
regular on the local stand-up scene, headlining club
gigs in JHB, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town (and
Bloemfontein, but Bloemfontein still denies this
vehemently).

He has also left hungover audiences laughing despite
their headaches at the Rocking the Daisies Festival
in Darling and is a regular member of Joe Parker’s
Improv Express.
Most recently he has gained a small cult following
(well, two guys in a bakkie) after the success of
kykNet’s improvised comedy show Proesstraat.
Alongside fellow comedian Hannes Brummer, he makes
up part of the touring Afrikaans comedy act Die
Flying Dutchmen.
