Australian comedy troupe Aunty Donna’s previous series, Big Ol’ House of Fun, was set in a shared house – providing an easy means to launch various random encounters. These could come from strangers knocking on the door, for instance, or the antics of the housemates themselves – played by Mark Samual Bonanno, Broden Kelly and Zachary Ruane.
The group’s new showcase of dippy absurdist humour, which premieres on Wednesday, almost literalises that revolving door of comedic potential. It’s based in a newly opened Melbourne cafe, where three owners (again Mark, Broden and Zachary) endeavour to find a marketable point of difference to distinguish their business from all the others.
