In conversation with television journalist and broadcaster Emma Bullimore, Brassic co-creators, This is England star Joseph Gilgun and award-winning writer Danny Brocklehurst, will talk alongside executive producer David Livingstone about the hilarious Sky Original comedy that brings banter, friendship and mental health to the fore. 

Recently named the highest-rated Sky comedy of the last seven years and with series two already in the pipeline, the show has gained a dedicated fanbase by exploring mental health in young men through a comic lens.

Based on Joseph’s childhood spent in rural Manchester, Brassic follows the antics of a group of working-class friends who find unconventional ways to win at life. Vinnie (Joseph Gilgun), a Lancashire lad with bipolar disorder, and Dylan (Damien Molony), his razor smart best mate, are inseparable and utterly co-dependent. Alongside Cardi, Ash, Tommo and JJ, the lads have dealt, scammed, bribed and conned their way through adolescence. But now, on the brink of adulthood, their dealing and stealing is catching up with them.

Like a carefully stacked house of cards, what happens if one of them is knocked down or, worse, removed from the pack entirely? Veering between blistering comedy and raw, heartfelt emotion, this outrageous, funny and bold show is about irreplaceable lifelong friends, loyalty and the things that come between them.

In celebration of the series, Danny, Joseph and David will discuss how the show was made – from developing the initial idea and the writing process, to finding the perfect cast to bring the writing to life. It’s an evening not to be missed.
