Manes, meltdowns and masculinity collide in this unhinged equestrian brom-com road trip.
Quinn is a middle-aged dressage diva in distress, whose idyllic life is shattered when his partner dumps him for a younger model on the eve of the National Dressage Championships.
Enter Keegan from Bundaberg, Quinn’s long-lost brother from another mother. Fuelled by heartbreak and hot chips, the unlikely duo hit the road, tangling with deranged strangers, botched makeovers, and unresolved daddy issues.
Narrated by Nutmeg, a loose-talking gelding with a taste for toxic stallions, Men on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is a gloriously absurd new comedy unpacking the egos, insecurities and emotional mess of modern manhood – with just the right amount of unhinged pony drama.
