Laurie moved to Melbourne early in her career as a stand-up comic to take advantage of its strong comedy industry/community. On her talk show, she often mentions Toowoomba, which she refers to as T-bar. Meshels infactuation with Toowoomba is because it is where she met her first ever sweetheart, Michael Bradman. It was Michael who encouraged her to perform her first Melbourne International Comedy Festival ever show, which was Dairy Belles which she performed with Corinne Grant. In 1998 she was granted the Brian McCarthy Memorial Moosehead Award to produce The Virgin Mary 2 - This Time It's Personal. Her success began to sky-rocket when, in 2000, she debuted The Whore Whisperer: Confessions of a Madam at the Melbourne Fringe Festival - a show all about her experiences working as a receptionist in brothels.
