Have you ever ended up somewhere you never expected?
Peter has. He is nothing if not a complete chancer and after having his dole cut off, he realised his days of getting stoned and playing Mario kart are over.
He’s joined the priesthood.
He’ll have to put down the joint and pick up the eucharist if he wants to survive in this peculiar and pious world.
A brand new razor sharp comedy with more tears than a funeral and more craic than a wake.
This is Seminary.
