Paul Fenech’s next comedy series, Housos, will air on SBS ONE from 10pm Monday 24 October.

As the successor to his Swift & Shift Couriers comedy, this series has already attracted some attention after it was featured in a story on A Current Affair.

The working class characters will be performed once more by many of Fenech’s regulars: Jason ‘Jabba’ Davis, Kev the Kiwi Taumata, Habib Tahir, Melissa Tkautz, Ian Turpie, Amanda Keller and Angry Anderson plus Elle Dawe and Paul Fenech himself.

Housos is the story of Shazza, Dazza, Franky and Kylie – best mates from “the block”. Sure, they drink away their problems, they might even have frequent domestic disputes and the occasional altercation with their neighbours, but down on the block it’s all for one and one for all.

Housos follows the riotously funny, day-to-day adventures of the residents of a fictional housing commission block – Sunnyvale. They battle the cops, they scam Centrelink, they even have the odd threesome, but once down with the crew in the hood then it is “Sunnyvale for life”.

To be a houso means that life is far from easy; ambulances avoid their suburbs because kids throw rocks at them, dad owes thousands to the local bikies and the de facto needs bail money . . . again. Much of a houso’s time is spent working hard to avoid actual work!

From the creator ofFat Pizza and Swift and Shift Couriers, Housos is the brain child of Paul Fenech – the assassin of political correctness.

“Housos is my best comedy to date. This show is straight out of the headlines. I’ve given up pizza and now chiko rolls and vegemite all the way for me! This is the show your mum will tell you not to watch . . . but then you will sneak off to a corner and watch it anyway,” said Paul Fenech.

Housos is a fashion statement from Australia’s dodgiest suburbs. It will provide transportation to a world where self-medicating, poorly educated, unemployed residents in a uniform of thongs, hoodies and Ugg boots are not only the norm; they are a fact of life. They may be trashy but they are literally as thick as thieves.

Housos brings the real face of Australia’s suburban underbelly to life.

  1. If you don’t laugh watching housos , you probably don’t laugh much in life at all. Chill out and forget about rules for just half an hour. It can’t hurt. Go housos.

  4. An Aussie version of ‘Shameless’? A little perhaps. More like the Canadian masterpiece…’Trailer Park Boys’.

    Can’t wait till 10 tonight! Go Pauly…love your work.

  5. 24th October? Can’t wait! It’ll be a nice change to all that american crap on tv nowadays. No trailers made me laugh, let alone hurt my sides!
    Paul Fenech, export this show to America! Let them know what they’re missing by flooding everyone elses screens with their manufactured crap.

  8. Obviously the South Park fans have been all but forgotten again this time around with junk like this wasting space at 10pm on a Monday Night.For God’s Sake put on something tasteful.

    I remember their show Under One Roof from Singapore which was a nineties sitcom many years ago.Shows like that had class and good values which is more than what can be said about Housos.

  9. Just saw the Trailor on You Tube and its very funny i couldnt stop laughing. It looked so similar to Pizza and judging by the trailor i think that my initial comments have been vindicated, at least at this stage. Definetly will watch now.

    Very much looking forward to this. I love political incorrectness

    It’s called ‘comedy’ 🙂

  13. Cant wait for this. I enjoyed Pizza, Swift and Shift is not bad but not as good as Pizza. I think this is getting back to the basics personalities even if they are a stereotype of austrailan yobo culture, very funny though. I know this will be funny. Enjoyed Jabba as Davo in Pizza. Will watch when it starts.

  14. What no more South Park?I would have preferred them to show the animated cartoon where the worse word used is Bastards that describes Kenny’s Killers than this rubbish.I guess it’s back to Good News World for me

  20. Sure there may be some moments in Pizza and Swift and Shift where you may wonder “should I be laughing at this?”. But I applaud the audacity of shows where we can push aside policital correctness and laugh at ourselves for 30 minutes.

    So if you’re going to get offended, please simply *don’t tune in* then call ACA/TT later.
    The rest of us will take it tongue-in-cheek. Can’t wait 🙂

  23. i can’t believe it, but I’m actually looking forward to seeing this. I’ve just recently started watching swift & shift couriers, and the sheer in your face political incorrectness is like carcrash tv 🙂
