The Merger starring Damian Callinan

About

The township of Bodgy Creek has seen better days. The mill’s closed, the Tidy Town sign has fallen into the long grass and the weir is as dry as a spinster’s gusset. The dying town is about to claim its next victim – the footy club. Unable to field a full side, the footy club will either have to fold or merge with their arch rivals – the Hudson’s Flat Cougars.

But prodigal son coach Troy Carrington has other ideas. To save the club, he embarks on a plan to recruit players from the Asylum Seekers Refuge Centre. Will the new players cope with pre-season training while fasting for Ramadan?

Damian tells the Roosters’ story through a variety of characters in this show, which earned him his 3rd Barry Award nomination for the best show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. The Merger is in development to be made into a feature film.
