Bogan Pride (Series One) is a six part part, half-hour musical comedy television series.
Jenny Cragg, a smart endearing teenage fugly, lives in Boonelg. Her mother Berenice is now extremely overweight and has become confined to her bedroom. Her Aunty Sandra’s become extremely annoying since her gay husband left. Her best friends Amy Lee and Nigella are extremely religious. And her neighbour Nick is extremely good looking. What’s a bogan girl to do? She’ll enter a dance battle in the hope to win $10 000 for her Mum’s stomach stapling operation and hopefully along the way she’ll impress her crush, become closer to God with the help of lesbians, get revenge on the school skanks and hell…she’ll even sell bonsai cats, win a Maths Olympiad and impersonate a mong.
Written and created by Rebel Wilson (‘Toula’ from SBS’s Pizza, as well as The Wedge, The Westie Monologues, Ghost Rider) this quirky upbeat series is based on her own experiences growing up in Sydney’s western suburbs. It features a predominantly female ensemble cast and original musical numbers which create a truly unique bogan spectacle.
