Writer, comedian and Voice of a Generation (not an opinion, just a fact, hunty!) Alistair Baldwin and Ashley really show instead of telling about their friendship in this episode.

Comedian and vocal wizard Josh Burton stops by Mayor Ashley's office when local musician DJ Slappa (played by Jenni Townsend) arrives in need of help: the towns beloved Klurb is under threat as the founder (Australian Idol season 1 winner Guy Sebastian) is pulling his funding. The three put their heads together to figure out how to save the Palsville institution, singing their way to a solution that somehow involves Doctor Who, an anti-oscar-dant and evolving LOL to ROFL to SMPL (shitting my pants laughing). Overall, it's magical.
