Extremely clever at being stupid, if.comeddie award-nominees We Are Klang bring their unique brand of comedic high-jinks to television.

Filmed in front of a live studio audience, their new show is the offspring of traditional sitcom and cutting-edge live comedy.

Welcome to the Klangbury council offices, from where three loser-heroes – Councillor Greg, supposed Deputy Mayor; Councillor Steve, Health and Safety; and Councillor Marek, Minister without Portfolio – unleash their unfathomable incompetence across this once functioning town.

In tonight’s opener, the bungling trio dance with disaster as the town goes up in flames. In the absence of the recently disbanded fire department, and with the council budget totalling a pitiful £1, the boys need to pull out all the stops to save their jobs.

Klangbury’s performing “talent” – a cavalcade of local weirdos, including the fat conjuror Derren Chillblaine – are rounded up for a fundraiser and Steve tries to impress the Mayor with his dancing horsey. But will it be enough to snatch victory? Whatever happens, the Department of Audience are on hand to help and viewers learn an important lesson about racial identity via a rousing sing-a-long song.
