A comedy play that is almost set in the world of a ‘three men walk into a bar’ joke. Martin and Duncan are two, bitter, middle-aged men who are outraged to discover that their local pub has been taken over by the young, fashionable Franc. He has turned it, as he tells them, into ‘a pub-themed cafe’. They immediately assume he is French and, despite him regularly correcting them, continually hold it against him. Over three episodes separated by musical comedy performed on a keytar, Martin and Duncan devise increasingly ludicrous schemes to ruin Franc’s life.
