Twenty-nine years old and still stuck on the same god damn level.
Corgan and Jimmy are BFFs. Their lives are filled by Tinder, Grindr, white lies, big nights and too many pints. Lawn bowls, Donkey Kong, wiping vomit into the shower drain. Unanswered texts, bad sex, moving back in with Mum and Dad. In the month preceding the wedding of Corgan's ex-girlfriend the two struggle to get their life in gear enough to even hire a suit.
FAG/STAG asks what it means to have a best mate when you're stuck being your worst self.

★★★★★
“Connor Reidy’s direction does an amazing job of telling these compelling stories with minimal movement. This makes for a totally intimate theatrical experience. The slightest moves are magnified by superb performances from both Connor Pullinger and Henry Cooper.”
The Clothesline
The Barefoot Review
“It is also very bloody funny; at times painfully so… That’s the achievement in Cooper and Pullinger’s smashing performances, ruled by exquisite comic timing, richly repulsive yet deeply engaging characterisations, and deft pacing by Reidy.”
★★★★★
“Both the actors give highly polished, emotional performances that begin as stand up but quickly dive deep into inner thoughts and feelings taking us on a wild ride!”
