Fresh off the back of a highly acclaimed ABC iview launch and having recently been featured in Neil Patrick Harris’ Gala at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, this is the first comedy television series for Sammy J and Randy.

A musical comedy about two mismatched housemates from the acclaimed comedic duo, Sammy J and Randy – Sammy J is a hopeless, down-and-out lawyer who, six years into his legal career, is yet to win a case.  And Randy is a cheating, gambling, drinking divorcee who also happens to be a purple puppet.

Merging comedy, music and puppetry, Sammy J and Randy has played to sold-out audiences in Australia and internationally.  In 2010, Sammy J and Randy won Australia’s most coveted comedy award, The Barry, for their one-man/one-puppet show, Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane.  In 2011, they wowed audiences around the globe with Sammy J & Randy in Bin Night, then again in 2012, with the third show in their trilogy, The Inheritance.  They are without question two of the most sought after comics in Australia today.
