Marc Wootton welcomes you to La La Land - starting on BBC3 on 27th April at 10.30

What happens when a guerilla comedian unleashes three fictitious characters on a mission to make it in Hollywood?

The hit Showtime series coming to BBC3 from 27th April at 10.30pm.

Award-winning actor and comic provocateur Marc Wootton (My New Best Friend, Gavin & Stacey, High Spirits With Shirley Ghostman) stars in La La Land, a new series about three wannabes seeking fame and fortune in Los Angeles.

Marc plays Brendan Allen, a documentary filmmaker with zero talent and even less integrity, set on a quest to become the next Morgan Spurlock; Shirley Ghostman, a disgraced medium willing to lie, cheat and even drug his way to becoming Americas next psychic superstar; and Gary Garner, an East-London taxi driver using the inheritance from his late porn-star mother to forge a new career as an action star in the mould of his hero Jason Statham.

La La Land collides character comedy and documentary to unique and hilarious effect. Marcs characters are fictitious, but everybody else - including his accomplices Kiki (Brendans camerawoman), Chico (Shirleys driver) and Ruta (Garys mentor) - is real and utterly unaware they are talking to an actor.

Directed and Executive Produced by three-time BAFTA nominee Misha Manson-Smith, La La Land is a hugely ambitious and complex stunt that was years in the devising, months in the making and remarkable as a feat of sheer daring and bank-heist planning, with some of the many run-ins with the LAPD finding their way into the final show.

Unsurprisingly the show has become the talk of Hollywood and counts comedy tastemakers from Larry David to Ben Stiller among its many fans.

The version hitting UK screens features a storyline too controversial for US viewers in which Brendan disguises himself as one of President Obamas Kenyan cousins and moves in with an all-American family in The OC.

La La Land is narrated by Julian Barrat of The Mighty Boosh and has an original score by Steve Mason, founder of The Beta Band.
