‘Time to Buy’ is an all singing, all dancing extravaganza brought to you by The Feed comedy team, TikTok sensation Tom Cardy, Montaigne, and more!
So, this news from The Feed is kind of a big deal. Never before has the team attempted a project as ambitious as an original musical, so they knew they had to bring in the big guns. Joining The Feed comedy team Vic Zerbst, Jenna Owen, and Alex Lee are special guests, like TikTok sensation (and Triple J Hottest 100 favourite) Tom Cardy, who has written seven new songs especially for the occasion. This stellar cast is completed by none other than Montaigne (Eurovision), Susie Youssef (The Project), Marty Alix (Hamilton)and Rob Carlton (Paper Giants) and tells the story of two millennials trying to navigate the Australian housing market.
‘Time to Buy’ premieres in full on Tuesday 8 March on SBS On Demand or watch weekly on The Feed Tuesdays from 8 March at 10pm.
‘Time to Buy’ is the story of Jo (Vic Zerbst) and Erin (Montaigne) who are trying to buy their first home. The key word being trying – if only it was that simple. But they’ve reached their breaking point with renting. Between the cramped conditions, their terrible housemate (Jenna Owen), and their terrible housemate’s pet snake, they decide it’s time – time to buy. It’s time to take the plunge into Australia’s ridiculous property market, but how will they manage it?
“This is so hard. Can’t we just go live in the forest?” – Jo
“We can’t go live in the forest, babe. Your allergies.” – Erin
Throughout their journey, Jo and Erin come head-to-head with a pair of baby boomers with their eyes on the same property. Can they beat them at auction? And if they do, will Jo and Erin’s relationship survive the stress?
From dodgy landlords, predatory lenders, fawning real estate agents, and a virtual chat bot in the middle of an existential crisis, ‘Time to Buy’ is a musical about love, money and negative gearing, featuring some of the finest comedy and musical talent in the country.
From Tuesday 15 February, The Feed airs at 10pm on SBS following Insight at 8:30pm and Marc Fennell’s documentary series Framed at 9:30pm. Dateline returns in 2022 Tuesdays from 15 March at 9:30pm.
Stream the musical in full on Tuesday 8 March on SBS On Demand or watch weekly on The Feed Tuesdays from 8 March at 10pm.
