The Badger of Ballybog is a comedy mockumentary following the contestants of Ireland’s premier men’s beauty pageant, including five-time reigning champ Little Johnny, competition bad boy Big Daddy, the young and eager Declan Dweeb, international man of mystery Nakamura Ozu, and American folk singer Duke Davis. It’s like the Rose of Tralee, but for lads. Featuring an all-star cast of Irish comedy favourites this film feels like your favourite improv night, but on the silver screen – where it belongs!
