Overview

The Badger of Ballybog is a comedy mockumentary following the contestants of Ireland’s premier men’s beauty pageant, including five-time reigning champ Little Johnny, legacy entrant Mícheál Milk, competition bad boy Big Daddy, the young and eager Declan Dweeb, international man of mystery Nakamura Ozu, English pariah Paddy Maguire and American folk singer Duke Davis. It’s like the Rose of Tralee, but for lads.
