Back in 2011 ABC2 screened a local indie-produced comedy,
twentysomething, in which creators Jess Harris and Josh Schmidt played unemployed housemates who decided to become their own bosses in an array of short-lived business schemes.
10 years later the same channel (currently rebranded as ABC TV Plus) unveils
Why Are You Like This, another indie comedy in which friends and housemates juggle unemployment, friendships and identity politics.
Naomi Higgins (
Get Krackin’) is co-creator and one of three lead performers, joining Olivia Junkeer and Wil King. These twentysomethings may not necessarily be likeable, but nor are they trying to be. They are certainly forthright in a desire to be heard an unapologetic in a world of cancel culture and political correctness.
