If you could script a Louis Theroux documentary, and follow Chris Lilley's Phil Olivetti as its Swifty-obsessed star?

That's how you might get TAY MAN.

TAY MAN also takes cues from the legendary work of Christopher Guest (Best in Show, Waiting For Guffman), as well as iconic shows like Parks & Recreation and The Office.




We're determined to make TAY MAN as beautiful as possible. While we might mimic the fundamentals of documentary filmmaking to fit the mockumentary genre, our mise-en-scène and schmick production design will make our visuals sing just as loudly as our script.

Show your support for TAY MAN with our badge kit and 'Maters Gonna M8' poster!

TAY MAN is in its final stages of casting. 

However, we're excited to announce two of our Tay Men, with more exciting cast announcements to come.
