Watch The Edge Of The Bush

The Edge Of The Bush is a hilarious mockumentary series produced by Guesswork Television and directed by Jon Olb. Released in 2017, the show stars two of Australia's most reputable comedian-actors, Anne Edmonds and Greg Larsen. The series spans eight 23-minute episodes that centre around the escapades of the hosts, Greg and Anne, as they explore regional Australia. The duo travels to a different town in each episode, where they set up camp at the edge of the bush and interact with the locals. As they go about their lives in the town, Anne and Greg make it a point to experience life as the townfolk do, more often than not with hilarious outcomes.

One of the most endearing aspects of the series is its dedication to believability. Each episode feels genuinely authentic, with Anne and Greg effortlessly blending in alongside the townsfolk. Though they often find themselves in precarious situations, they always manage to get out of them with grace and humor.

The show's personalities bring a charming wit and humor to the show. Anne performs her role as the straight-woman with finesse, playing the role of the grounded, responsible adult against Greg's outlandish, often absurd shenanigans. Her dry wit and deadpan delivery allow her to play the foil to Greg's more over the top antics.

Greg, on the other hand, is the main source of comedy, with a particular talent for going to great lengths for a joke. Whether it's donning a sausage suit in a bid to become the town's most famous character or making a scene at the local rodeo, Greg's unpredictable energy is a perfect match for the show's comedic style.

One of the more standout elements of The Edge Of The Bush is its authentic Australian setting. Each town that Anne and Greg visit is a rich slice of rural Australian life, often showcasing the country's quirky and colorful ambiance. It's impressive that the series managed to feature diverse rural aspects, including farms, mines, outback towns and beachside escapes.

Another feature of the show is its production quality. The series features a polished aesthetic, with excellent camera work and an excellent score reflecting the various moods and tones of each episode. The show manages to balance a DIY charm with professional quality production values, making it incredibly watchable.

Overall, The Edge Of The Bush is a gut-busting comedy that provides an excellent showcase for the talents of Anne Edmonds and Greg Larsen. The show takes the classic road-trip one step further, providing a delightful exploration into the off-beat corners of Australia. With its relaxed pace, the series makes for great, easy-viewing, with enough genuine moments to keep viewers genuinely invested in Anne and Greg's journey.

Though it's a shame that there has been no confirmation on a second season, The Edge Of The Bush was a joyous romp of a show that deserves to be seen by anyone looking for an excellent quality comedy that will make them laugh out loud.

The Edge Of The Bush is a series that ran for 1 seasons (5 episodes) between September 12, 2017 and on Guesswork Television
