Returning: Metro Sexual

Local comedy Metro Sexual returns for its second season on 9GO! in early December.

Set in a sexual health clinic, the series produced by Humdrum Comedy features Riley Nottingham and Geraldine Hickey, now joined by Shabana Azeez, plus Ryan Shelton and Urvi Majumdar, who were both previously guests.

Co-creator and producer Riley Nottingham said: “We are thrilled to be bringing our labour of love and comedy series back to Australian audiences on 9GO! After what we have all been through, a bit of heartfelt humour might be just what the doctor ordered. Beyond the uplifting laughs we hope it shines a light on the importance of inclusivity and a little reminder for us all to look after our sexual health.

“It’s been an incredible experience creating this series and we hope it can offer some welcome comic relief.”

Metro Sexual is a local production filmed in mockumentary style that follows the lives of Doctors Steph Huddleston (Geraldine Hickey) and Langdon Marsh (Riley Nottingham) who work at Metropolitan Sexual Health. The bubbly, customer service-driven Langdon and the sardonic, seemingly-aloof Steph are both smart, empathetic doctors, however their differing approaches to patient care mean they’re always butting heads.

This season, sexual health practitioners Steph and Langdon are joined by two new regulars: medical student Yasmin Dagher (Shabana Azeez), who just wants to get through her six month placement at the clinic; and bikie gang member Greg (Ryan Shelton), Steph’s cousin, who keeps coming in as an excuse to talk to receptionist Gwen (Urvi Majumdar).

Together, our heroes must face a host of challenges, including a visit from a scandal-ridden politician, a controversial billboard, and an annual sexual health awards ceremony gone wrong, while trying to keep a growing STI epidemic at bay.

Thursday, December 2, at 8.30pm on 9GO!
