While comedian, actor, and writer Emma Sidi (Pls Like, Stath Lets Flats), Sindhu Vee (Live at the Apollo, Mock The Week) will take on roles. Special guest star Minnie Driver (Modern Love, Good Will Hunting) will feature alongside the wider cast including Al Roberts (Stath Lets Flats), Jon Pointing (Plebs), Joe Barnes (The Now Show), Nic Sampson (Baby Done), Lola Rose Maxwell (Rude Tube), Abraham Popoola (The Great), and Ambreen Razia (This Way Up).
