TONI FITZGERALD'S CULT FOLLOWING
Directed, Written & Produced
by Felicity Pickering
Toni Fitzgerald, a struggling comic, finds acceptance - and a willing audience - in a cult.
Toni Fitzgerald is a stand up comic. The only issue is she just isn’t funny; not to her workmates, not to her roommate, not even to her Mum. So when she stumbles upon a cult that doesn't approve of popular culture, she’s offered an opportunity that she can’t refuse.
Toni pretends that the most famous lines of comedy history are her original stand up. But how long will it be until they find out, and how far will Toni go to remain the funniest person in the room?
