The series will contain six 30 minute episodes produced by Chloe Rickard and will air later in 2014 an announcement from ABC2 revealed today.
The series is the creation of Christiaan and Connor Van Vuuren and Nick Boshier who rose to prominence with their YouTube sketches as the Bondi Hipsters, Beached Az and The Fully Sick Rapper.
I’m sick of the ABC spending my tax dollars supporting the careers of every D grade comedian in the country.
Hey, just a correction. Adrian is played by Nick Boshier and Dom by Christiaan.
they certainly know how to flog something over-and-over again
Love these guys. Can’t wait.
@Lulu – it’s not ‘your’ tax dollars. Its ALL working Australians tax dollars, and within that is a large proportion (just look at their videos on YouTube) who love these guys and are happy for their tax money to be going towards it. The ABC is not personally designed to each individual, it has to cater to the 24 million people living here… On top of that, by paying for TV productions that are made locally, we are injecting money back in to the Australian economy. Surely that’s a win?
I love their work. Its a funny escape from a rather depressing world at times.
Let’s make a deal Lulu, the ABC can use my tax dollars for comedy, and the Defence Department can use yours to buy jet fighters.
Most of the comments here will be negative because BH tends to appeal to teens and twentysomethings. They have only ever had one joke and I suppose now they’ll do that one joke in different costumes, replacing jokes about coke with myrrh or ayahuasca & skinny jeans with skinny togas.
Also @lulu – everything you don’t like on the ABC isn’t a reason to complain about “your tax dollar” such a boring argument that I can’t even…
We’ve all heard about the funding cut for the Australia Network….who won there? Are your saved tax dollars sleeping better at night now?
Well, it’s gotta be better than Jona from Tonga, bro!
The “Bondi Hipster trio” huh? Well counted.
Q, yes, the trio: Christiaan and Connor Van Vuuren (TWO BROTHERS) and Nick Boshier.
