Summer Heights High

This hilarious Australian mockumentary tells the story of three completely contrasting characters at Summer Heights High School all played by the extremely talented actor. Chris Lilley miraculously managed to create, write, and star in the series, with acting so miraculous you often times forget that that these characters are all played by the same person. First off there is the islander boy Jonah, the class clown who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Secondly there is “Mr. G” the flamboyant drama teacher whose egocentricities lead him to believe that nothing and no one is more important than the school play that he is directing, which of course ends up being all about him. Lastly there is Ja’mie, a snotty private school girl who transfers to this public for one semester as a part of a school district program, and manages to become one of the most popular girls in school. Each one of these characters is completely unique and comical in their own ways and the more you watch them the more you are drawn to their charismatic eminence. This facetious one man show is definitely a must watch!
