In Season 1 Mick Molloy plays ex-comedian Dave Davies, mentor of a four upstart would-be comedians. He introduces The Jesters to show business by giving them their very own TV show. It’s all about infighting, colossal egos and potential lawsuits but ultimately brilliantly funny watching.

The Jesters, the comedy group in the Movie Extra series, is more successful than ever. Will the real show match its fictional counterpart?
Movie Extra’s series about the making of a comedy show The Jesters was positively received when it first aired in 2009, so it was only natural they’d be back with more biting satire. Kevin Brumpton and Angus FitzSimons (both writers and executive producers of the show) once again take aim at the entertainment industry – and their former Cnnnn colleagues The Chaser, complete with a parody of their infamous “Make a realistic wish” sketch – with eight new episodes shot in Sydney in mid-2009.
At the end of the first season, the career of once-famous comedian Dave Davies (Mick Molloy) was back on track thanks to his new talk show, Remembering, encouraging him to cut professional ties with his protégés – the comedy group The Jesters, who had already...

On the set of The Jesters, Mick Molloy is talking about the latest spate of 3-D films that are being released around the world. We can't help but ask what would Molloy like to do in 3-D? "I don't know what the action would be... maybe if I popped a button on my pants and sent it flying into the audience.
