In this darkly hilarious satire by the inimitable Will Aitken, class war erupts aboard a luxury cruise ship. 
A boatload of white privilege, the Emerald Tranquility is the most luxurious cruise liner afloat, its passengers some of the richest people in the world. Meanwhile the ship’s crew, overworked and underpaid, live packed tightly together in airless below-deck cabins. 
Briony, globetrotting luxury travel writer, emulates the rich—though homeless and penniless herself—as she hops from gig to all-expenses-paid gig. 
The passengers encounter a great number of cataclysms at sea, but no matter the catastrophe, the great ship always sails on. 
On her own personal voyage, Briony encounters Mrs. Moore, an enigmatic old woman clandestinely fomenting a mutiny on this bountiful ship. With the captain overthrown, roles quickly reverse: the crew become the ship’s new leisure class and the aged passengers learn how to mop floors and scrub toilets. 
Briony, confused and terrified by the resultant chaos, must decide which lot to cast her fate with, in this savage satire of the way we live now.

Galactic A$$holes: The Misadventures of Captain Fartknuckle is the most gloriously stupid, chaotically crude, and outrageously hilarious space saga you never knew your twisted little heart needed.
 
Follow Captain Fartknuckle—a fearless leader with a nuclear butt blast and the strategic planning skills of a drunk wombat—as he stumbles, farts, and occasionally saves the galaxy alongside the universe’s dumbest collection of outlaws: Sockward the crusty gym sock prophet, Grandma Glittertits the battle-hardened old warrior with no filter (and even less patience), Jeff the semi-feral raccoon diplomat, and a sentient AI that hates them all equally.
 
From sock-based civil wars and galactic fart bombs to evil sentient soap bars bent on cosmic cleansing, this crew faces every ridiculous catastrophe the stars can throw at them—and usually makes it worse.
 
Packed with dark humor, savage stupidity, relentless fart jokes, and plot twists so dumb they come full circle to genius, Galactic A$$holes will blast you into a galaxy where dignity dies, laughter reigns, and the only universal law is "Never trust a raccoon with chili."
 
Brace your nostrils. Shield your brain cells. Welcome to the misadventure of a lifetime.

This is a humorous dramatisation of the extraordinary series of events that occurred in Arles at the tail end of 1888. Written and produced by Brian King. All characters voiced by Brian King.
