Shane Jacobson

Kenny [Edizione: Regno Unito] Shane Jacobson

A mock documentary that takes a look at the life of Kenny Smyth (Shane Jacobson), an optimistic and enthusiastic waste management plumber at specialist company Splashdown who installs portaloos at various functions in Australia. As well as having to contend with spending his days in sewage, Kenny also has to deal with a horrible ex-wife, a disappointed father who refers to him as a 'turd burglar', and bizarre co-workers. Kenny endures various terrible situations in his life with a cheery optimism, until his luck changes when he is sent on a business trip to the International Pumper and Cleaner Expo in Nashville and becomes involved with an airline stewardess. Director Clayton Jacobson and his brother Shane wrote the script to this engaging and sweet natured comedy that features several classic one-liners and manages to avoid showing the details of Kenny's job. While the mock documentary genre has been fine tuned by Christopher Guest (BEST IN SHOW) and Ricky Gervais (THE OFFICE), KENNY is a hilarious and endearing addition.
