Airdate: Finding Joy

2018 Irish comedy Finding Joy begins tonight on ABC Comedy.

The 6 part series is created by and stars Amy Huberman (Threesome, Moone Boy, The Clinic, Striking Out) as Joy, who lands herself a new job filling in for Ireland’s most-beloved vlogger.

Joy is perfectly happy with her life. It’s neat and tidy and just how she likes it. Sure, her long-term boyfriend, Aidan, has left her, but Joy is fine with it. She’s certainly not suffering from heartbreak and stress-induced incontinence like canine Aidan. Things are totally fine the way they are… That is until Joy unwittingly lands herself a new job filling in for Ireland’s most-beloved vlogger, Flora the Happy Hunter. This unwanted promotion throws Joy firmly out of her OCD level of control and forces her to deal with a world she has put great effort into avoiding; one full of oversharing, boundary breaking, messy housemates, one-night stands, and full-contact wrestling; all in the name of learning about the crazy, uncomfortable and new-age methods people use to find… well joy.

Episode 1:
Joy is totally fine…. No matter what her dog, Canine Aidan, thinks. She may have just broken up with her long-term boyfriend, Aidan, and her best friend Trish is busy having a baby, but she’s perfectly happy with her secluded and orderly life. Her career is also trundling along nicely, until she receives an unwanted new job filling in for Ireland’s most-beloved vlogger, Flora the Happy Hunter (at least until the swelling dies down). The new job catapults Joy into the unknown, and unwelcome, world of social media stardom, where she must share her fears, feelings, and wardrobe malfunctions with the world as she goes to great heights to find… well joy.

Thursday 30 May at 10.15pm on ABC.
