Actors Up Close, Behind The Scenes

Celebrating 20 years of Kenny

Raise a glass (or a plunger) as we commemorate the 20th anniversary of Australia’s most beloved philosopher. What began as a modest mockumentary about a good natured bloke doing an unglamorous job has grown into a film that audiences continue to cherish for its warmth, wit, and unmistakably Aussie spirit. 


Join Shane Jacobson and director Clayton Jacobson, for a special anniversary screening and an extended conversation that dives deep into the film’s creation, cultural impact, and enduring legacy. They’ll revisit the stories behind the laughs, the on-set magic that made the film a surprise phenomenon, and the heartfelt moments that helped Kenny become a national treasure.
