ABOUT THE SHOW

Pack your bags for a perimenopausal Weekend at Bernie’s: an outrageous and unforgettable trip directed by Leticia Cáceres (Erotic Stories, Bump) and starring Michala Banas (Upper Middle Bogan, The Odd Couple) and Genevieve Morris (Dying: A Memoir, Comedy Inc.). Losing Face is an absolutely unhinged and spikily clever new comedy about friendship and unmasking the true price of chasing the fountain of youth.

Injectables. Nips, tucks and lifts. A biohacking wellness host on a mission to defy death. Just your average girls’ weekend, courtesy of screenwriter and playwright Marieke Hardy (Heartbreak High, Laid).

Travel writer Jo is turning 50 and has invited her two ride-or-dies along for an unforgettable celebration: an all-expenses-paid visit to flashy new wellness resort, The Royal You. Expecting a long-overdue catch-up in steam rooms and infrared saunas, they instead arrive at a high-end medispa, where supercharged cosmetic procedures are upsold to unsuspecting guests. When a medical mishap turns disastrous, the women are left with some wildly unexpected and gravity-defying side effects.
