Written by and starring Greg Davies (Taskmaster, The Cleaner, The Inbetweeners & BAFTA-nominated star of Cuckoo) as Dan, a walking disaster-area and child-trapped-in-a-man’s-body whose world is consistently staggering towards collapse. Crushing character flaws, an unwanted teaching job, uniquely dysfunctional friends and a wilfully insane family conspire to keep this Man Down.


Man Down has featured guest stars including theatrical behemoth and iconic 80s movie bad-guy Steven Berkoff (Beverly Hills Cop, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Octopussy), intergalactic star Mark Hamill (Star Wars), comedian Isy Suttie (Peep Show) and legendary comic-actor Sir Tony Robinson (Blackadder). This was alongside the established cast including: multi-award-winning actress Stephanie Cole Obe (Open All Hours), 2010 Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer winner Roisin Conaty (After Life, Game Face), 2013 Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Mike Wozniak (Live At The Electric), Gwyneth Powell (Grange Hill) and Jeany Spark (Wallander).
