FOUR. The indefatigable potato. Best laugh in the biz. You make our lives so much brighter/funnier/more exhausting.

Beyond chuffed that our ratbag of a show is nominated for 2 AACTA Awards, alongside some of the best Aussie comedies made in recent history.

Thanks to everyone who helped create Gold Diggers- our epic cast and crew, everyone who watched, and my dad who gritted his teeth through (at most) two episodes.

If you’re an AACTA member, we’d love a vote, but honestly this nom is amazing on its own.

Special shout out to @simon.mccutcheon.58 and his incredible team for their nomination. And to @johnniemakeup for making me feel so beautiful.

THREE. Slipping and sliding (and getting hostage taped) to celebrate our 3 year old. The ever enthusiastic potato, who keeps us all laughing even when we’re bloody exhausted from chasing him around.

Last slide: his favourite seat 😳

Shitty snow good times.

Hard to put this into one pithy post. I’m just an incredibly grateful and humbled little man. Thanks to everyone who’s watched our silly/grubby show. Thanks to this beautiful crew who came together to laugh and create and get muddy every damn day. Thanks to the fearless writers who brought this world to life. Thanks to the most phenomenal cast of angels who threw themselves into Dead Horse Gap with so much generosity and talent. Thanks to my sisters @muffypotter and @trudi.ann who’ve been there the whole time making this puppy shine. And thanks to @wileylauren_ who kept our family functioning (thriving) while I was out writing fart and patriarchy jokes.

Final episode: Hanging Tough goes to air on @abctv tonight. Written by my hero @relentlessywendy
Directed by our setup queen @helenabrooks
Back to real life (book week ffs)

Did @iamlincolnyounes base his dangerous, charismatic, brooding character on me? Probably. Don’t fact check it.
Some highlights from ep3:
- our glorious bushrangers/f-bois
- Brewer horndogs
- Season 2 romance?
- 4 sweethearts (my fave pic)
- Goldie and Fab
- Percy and the lads
-The largest slate we could afford

Episode 2 of Gold Diggers hits the telly tonight. Written by @ericaharrisonis and me, directed by @helenabrooks

Highlights: @semisi_cheekam and his heroic strength, @ladymeganlillywildthing being an icon, @clairelovering and @daniellewalkercomedy ‘s insane vaudeville act, @luka_lukam perfectly peaking, @edmundperfect deadpanning it like no one else can, and @michalabanas dropping the c-bomb in prime time.

Also, a truly nuanced and beautiful character- Chook Man. So happy Australia can fall in love with him as much as @daniellewalkercomedy did. She’s actually obsessed.

In honour of birthing our show into the world today, here’s the glorious Brewer sisters birthing each other, which is weirdly their go-to pose at any photo opportunity.

Catch it on ABC or iView 9:10pm tonight. #golddiggerstv

Look at these brilliant faces: the writers of Season 1 of Gold Diggers. What a dream group of funny, generous people with a whole lot of ratbaggery to share. If you love it, they’re the reason. If you hate it… also the reason.

Side note: we stand with @wgastrikeunite Pay writers what they deserve, and prioritise humans telling human stories (chat gpt has zero bants/neuroses)
