Stream of Piffle welcome you to a dark and strange world not unlike our own where dictators say sorry on daytime TV, Disney offer up their unique solution to Middle Eastern problems, Coca Cola get more than they bargained for and a restraining order proves no boundary to true love. Razor sharp satire and character comedy walking a tight rope between social comment and pure bad taste, Taking the Piff will make you laugh and wince in equal measure.
