AUSTRALIAN EPIC
TELEVISION
Lots of documentaries have facts.
Lots of documentaries have talking heads.
Lots of documentaries have earnest slow-motion bits.
But only this documentary series…
… has JAZZ HANDS.
Australian Epic is an irreverent comedy documentary series where six of Australia’s most defining stories are retold as musicals. Written by The Chaser’s Chris Taylor and Andrew Hansen, and performed by an ensemble cast of dazzling triple-threats, this 6-part extravaganza breathes new life into some of the country’s most colourful stories, by giving them the full musical treatment they’ve always deserved.
If a story’s worth telling, it’s worth telling loudly.
Produced by acclaimed comedy production house Princess Pictures, the series ingeniously swings between interviews with the real-life players and musical numbers that give Taylor and Hansen full rein to put their trademark satirical spin on the material.
