HORNY
Horny is the first episode of a comedy-satire series written & directed by Lewis Charlesworth. It stars Jon Massey and Lewis Charlesworth and directed by Mat Johns.
Each episode simply consists of a funny conversation between two men, discussing hot topics from today (i.e. masculinity, gender, left/right wing politics, racism). It will reveal the pressures and joys of being a 'woke' liberal man in today’s cultural climate. But all with tongue firmly in cheek, and without heavy-handed preaching.

Lewis Charlesworth is a comedian turned playwright turned screenwriter, from Bolton. The past year has seen him receive acclaim for live theatrical productions, such as Best Friends, Auto-Pilot, The Greek, A Quiet Drink, and Cheaters: A Play About Infidelity.
With Cheaters, he received numerous 4-star reviews and gathered a nomination for Best Comedy Play at the 2018 Greater Manchester Fringe festival.
Horny represents his first real foray into screenwriting/filmmaking.
“It looks like Lewis Charlesworth’s transition from comedian to playwright has been a success”
— Manchester Theatre Awards.
Horny - aims to be the first of many episodes/short films. Further down the line, it may also be developed into a live show.
Hopefully prompting debate, as well as making people laugh, it reflects the admirable, contradictory, and terrifying things we project onto the next generation of ‘men’.
