Tony Rogers, Guilty and Screen Australia present latest installment in Australian comedy ‘Bruce’
Guilty’s Tony Rogers has co-written, along with writers Mat Blackwell (Good News Week), Warwick Holt (Good News Week), the latest installment in Australian multi-platform comedy with ‘Bruce’.
‘Bruce’ is a gritty black comedy set in an ordinary Aussie share-house that just happens to be a prison tent in Sydney Cove, 1788. Bruce Williamson, a thoroughly modern 18th century convict is stuck in a tent with irrepressible bogan Garry Smith, who claims to be Bruce’s “best mate” and great with the chicks. Add to this Mick (no second name), a well-read, philosophically sensitive monolith of a man who is also a serial killer, or so we suspect.
Produced by award winning producer Jason Byrne (Sucker, How To Talk Australians), Bruce has been funded by Screen Australia, along with a select group of ground-breaking original web series set to hit online platforms in 2016.

Conclusive proof that comedy, even the darkest kind, is really, really difficult. Because this is painfully, embarrassingly, unfunny.
I think this is great. If you look at the state of Australian comedy lately this is exactly what we need.
This looks very funny. Well done Tony, Jason and the Guilty team.
Well done Tony, very funny setting for a comedy, love it!
I’m not an arsehole, I was just looking for some consistency.
Brilliant.
