[8] In 2006, Mellard won the 21st annual Funniest Person in Austin Contest at the Cap City Comedy Club.
[10] In Austin, he was part of David Huntsberger's sketch-comedy troupe The Hooligan Show[11] and the group 100 Proof Comedy.
Several critics noted that the seemingly crude title of the Fart Safari series belies Mellard's sophistication and skill as a comic: "Mellard is far from being a one-fart pony", wrote Lara Smith of Comedy Wham, who praised his "perfect and hilarious irreverence" and "vivid combination of observational humor and absurd fantastical 'what if' scenarios".
