Season 1 | Episode 1: The Postman

Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane

Comedy, Australia 2015

Meet Sammy J, a hopeless, down-and-out divorce lawyer, who six years into his legal career is yet to win a case. And meet Randy – a cheating, gambling, drinking divorcee who desperately wants to win back his ex-wife. Oh and he also happens to be a purple puppet. Randy hit rock bottom after his divorce lawyer, Sammy J, managed to lose him everything. So Sammy J offered his spare room in his house on Ricketts Lane to Randy for a fortnight. That was twelve months ago. Now Sammy J and Randy are inseparable – loyal, eccentric, and prone to bursting into song at any given moment. It’s an improbable friendship, sure, but beggars can’t be choosers. And truth be told, Sammy J might just hold the key for Randy to win back his ex-wife, and Randy’s constant scheming might be Sammy J’s ticket to legal triumph. Welcome to Ricketts Lane, where The Odd Couple and Wilfred collide – a musical comedy about the adventures of two mismatched housemates who struggle to live with each other, but can’t live without each other. Loud, bright, catchy, filthy, pun-filled, twisted, and bursting with heart, SAMMY J & RANDY IN RICKETTS LANE is what happens when good, old-fashioned story telling crashes headlong into an acclaimed, award-winning comedy duo. Confronted by the questions on the census, Sammy J and Randy compete over who can tick more boxes. Featuring eloquent dialogue, stunning cinematography, and a man urinating in a pot plant.
