The film follows the raucous and often ridiculous weekend journey of three stand-up comedians. Egos run high and careers are at stake as Kags, an arrogant womaniser, Joey, a devout yet belligerent Muslim, and Dave, a somewhat innocent and naive "dishwasher" with dreams of making it big on the comedy scene, embark on a road trip to Oppikoppi, South Africa's biggest annual rock festival. The trio slip out of their normal lives for a few dusty and increasingly absurd days with hopes of mass debauchery, drugs, rampant sex, true love and huge success on stage with their comedy pieces, but they get a bit more than they bargained for. An original comedy about young people from contemporary Johannesburg, with real stand-up comedians, who made a major contribution to the final shape of the film.
