The Knot

Saturday 8 November, 5:00pm

You are cordially invited to the very first table reading of Fergus Linacre’s THE KNOT. A brand new comedy series about love, chaos, and the beautiful mess that goes on behind the scenes with the wedding event staff.

Join us at Comedy Republic for one night only, to witness this pilot script come to life at the table for the first time, with a complimentary glass of prosecco on arrival.

Join Alex Dyson, Tom Ballard, Jordan Barr, Francis Greenslade, Jamie Timony, Amy Ruffle, Tiana Hobden, Janty Blair, and Barney Pollock as we take you through the very first episode in an intimate read that lets you feel the rhythm of the writing and be part of the night the world of the show takes its first breath.

Episode Synopsis
Recently heartbroken, James arrives for his first shift as a waiter at a seemingly posh Melbourne wedding venue. He meets Emily, and joins the unruly staff in a futile endeavor to appease the cashed up bogans who know all too well how to celebrate. Fiasco ensues as we lift the veil on the wonderfully romantic and chaotically faulty world of weddings.

"THE KNOT is an homage to the nine years I spent working at a wedding reception. It became a second home for me and the staff, who often worked six weddings a week. We navigated young adulthood together amidst great pageantry, in a demanding, emotionally heightened environment." - Fergus Linacre (Singer & Guitarist - Kingswood)
