HBO just picked up a new Australian, mockumentary style show where one guys plays three characters: a gangster 8th grader, a gay theater teacher, and a preppy girl. It might be some of the funniest and most natural TV I've ever seen. It starts Nov. 9th.

Jonah

Mr G (Greg Gregson)

Ja'mie King

I saw the preview for it last week before entourage came on, and it looked hilarious. I can't wait till this show debuts.

Bump

It comes on tonight after Entourage, do yourself a favor and watch it. I promise this'll be the hardest you laugh tonight.

Holy shite, I just downloaded the first season last week based on a friend's recommendation. Crazy coincidence.

Same character (gay theater director) was done much better than this by Martin Short in a film a couple of years back. Bad movie called GET OVER IT but he was great.

If you rent it watch the outtakes. Classic stuff.

The drama teacher character owes a ton to Christopher Guests' Corky character in Waiting for Guffman. Lilley needs to send his paycheck to Guest.

The show was interesting enough, but nothing made me laugh, or even smile.

wow. I had never seen this.

I miss Flight of the Conchords, but this seems legit.

Chris Lilley's a genius because I've met someone exactly like all 3 of these characters, especially Ja'Mie.
