This week’s pilot in ABC’s Comedy Showroom is The Legend of Gavin Tanner, a working class comedy from the west.

The cast features Matt Lovkis, Adam Zwar, Emily Rose Brennan and Mandy McElhinney.

Gavin Tanner (Matt Lovkis) is Western Australia’s crappiest weed dealer and wannabe hero who’s utterly convinced he’s the biggest legend in his hometown of Balladeen. When Gavin meets his new neighbour Marshall (Adam Zwar), he believes they are destined to be best mates, even though they have nothing in common. But when Marshall befriends Gavin’s girlfriend Trish (Emily Rose Brennan) instead, Gavin resolves to break the union and claim Marshall for himself.

A Mad Kids Production. Written and directed by Henry Inglis and Matt Lovkis. Produced by Lauren Elliott. ABC TV Executive Producer Andrew Gregory and Head of Comedy Rick Kalowski.

9pm Wednesday on ABC.

  1. Let’s hope the incoming government will axe the ABC’s comedy department. I’m sick of taxpayer’s money being used to fund garbage like this.

    1. Yeah how dare the ABC try something different, how dare the ABC give experience to writers and actors. And is anyone from the ABC coming into your home and forcing you to watch it?

    2. Thank God for the ABC is all I can say. Even with all of the budget cuts they’ve already had, they still seem to strive harder than any other network to produce Australian drama and comedies. Of course not everyone is going to hit the mark but at least they’re trying. This comedy showcase concept is brilliant I think.

  2. This was one of my favourites after binge watching them all over the weekend. My favourite is International Student and my least favourite was The Letdown
