A Sunbury comedian has released a nine-part mock reality show for TikTok and Instagram about the struggles of adulting.
Adult-erers was released Thursday, May 4, and is the debut web series created, written, produced and directed by Chido Mwat.
Dr Mwat said she got the idea when she looked back to her twenties and all the things she wished she knew.
“The show is a letter to my younger shelf,” Dr Mwat said.
“Towards the end of my twenties I was thinking about all the things I wished someone had told me when I was younger.
“Imagine if there were people who could come into your life and help solve your problems.”
Dr Mwat said the episodes range from 1 to 1.40 minutes long and would appeal to people in their 20s.
“[The show is for] people experiencing their quarter life crisis,” she said.
“And all the people looking back and understanding all the messages behind the comedy … [who] can find some situations funny.”
In the show two “professional” adults spring into action in each episode with their unconventional approaches to help solve problems, while highlighting the truth behind their shenanigans.
Dr Mwat is no stranger to the comedy world, with her debut satirical short ‘For Becky’ being featured on SBS, and placing third at the Sunshine Short Film Festival in 2021.
Dr Mwat also performed in her debut show ‘She-Nanigans the Show’ at The Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Melbourne Fringe in 2022.
The project was supported by the state government through Creative Victoria and through Hume council’s arts grants program.
