Directing
Jules is on a New Year's Eve trip with her new boyfriend and his two stoner friends in the wops of North Canterbury when they stumble across a long-abandoned stash in an old shed. After a quick session and an accidental murder, the marijuana turns them into enthusiastic cannibals. To cover the evidence of their murder, they decide to keep toking so they can devour the body. What will happen when the meat runs out? Who will be the next victim?
Based on the Fred Award-nominated live show FUQ BOIZ, Hamish Parkinson and Ryan Richards bring their absurd, full-commitment, lightning-energy madcap sensibilities to this bold sketch series that takes relatable social pressures and crippling anxieties to their illogical extremes.
It’s 2026 Auckland, New Zealand, through the black-and-white lens of the German expressionist silent era. If it weren't for the online group chat and the overused electric heater, the city’s 100-year-old bungalows with no insulation would make you believe it’s the 1920s. The Ungrateful Tenant follows an anxiety-ridden millennial renter who dreams of one day buying his own house. When his paranoid frustration comes to a head, he kicks out his ‘nightmare’ flatmate, only to be struck back by instant karma, sending him on a cursed odyssey in and out of flats across Auckland. Experience the brutal absurdity of the housing crisis in slapstick fashion.
In October 2020, The Beths toured Aotearoa New Zealand, culminating in a final stop at Auckland Town Hall on Friday, November 6.
