A year older, another great topic!
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Grown Ups was the natural follow-up to The Politically Incorrect Guide to Teenagers — written and directed by Nigel Latta, and again full of painfully relatable truths.
I returned as “Janine,” and with my husband “Larry” (John Leigh), we navigated the kinds of problems most grown-ups know all too well: from irritating habits and relationship misfires, to work stress, money squabbles, family dynamics, jealousy, and that nagging feeling of “is this it?”
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Grown Ups followed a similar format to the teenage series in 2011, part stage show, part documentary, part sketch comedy, a bundle of insights, and a good dose of down-to-earth reality thrown in. With Nigel’s trademark mix of humour and hard truths, it tackled the messiness of adult life without sugarcoating.
One surprising theme? Just how many scenes we filmed in bed! And just to say, in the scene where I brought a kitchen knife to bed, “Larry” was not harmed in the making of that moment, I promise.
