Welcome to Peckerwood, where the streets are lined with palm trees, the sun shines all year round, and desperate actors from every corner of the globe come to find success. Some folk will do anything for a shot at the Peckerwood Dream.

And within the crumbling walls of the Mystery Motel, live three child actors: Tozzer, Rod and Hornie. Their careers are going nowhere fast, and they are always struggling to find work. Yet there is a far greater peril than mere poverty. Their lives, and the very survival of mankind, are constantly under threat.

Somewhere in the shadows of Peckerwood, lurks an evil villain with a distinctly British accent. This notorious criminal is plotting to take over the world, and someone has to stop him! But who can foil his nefarious plans?

Creators Rob Dunlop and Peter Lumby have joined forces once again to bring you a pop culture satire from the bowels of the entertainment industry. Peckerwood is a rude and irreverent comedy, so beware. It’s strictly for nasty kids and adults who should know better. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you may even die, if you’re easily shocked and your pacemaker’s on the blink.

Peckerwood: 24 Minutes synopsis
Agent Jack Ass has just 24 minutes to abduct a hitman, raid a candy factory, save a panda, fly to Europe, have his hair done and prevent World War 3. Yup, he’s gonna need some help. Tozzer, Rod and Hornie are desperate for work, so when Jack offers them the acting gig of a lifetime, they jump at the chance. But how can they survive, when they're up against The Englishman, Peckerwood’s most notorious criminal mastermind? His minions include a cold-blooded celebrity assassin, a terrifying vending machine salesman and a pair of homicidal Mexican dwarves. The fate of the planet hangs in the balance, and the clock is ticking… Or at least it would be ticking, if it wasn’t digital.

Feedback

"Just as you thought it was safe to go back to the comic shop, Rob and Pete kick you in the happy sack with their comedy size tens and their latest baby Peckerwood. Irreverent, well thought out and laugh-out-loud funny, it's annoyingly good - meaning that I have to kill them now."
Tony Lee, www.tonylee.co.uk
