The hilarity starts when two couples accidentally show up for the same weekend cottage!

The premise of the show is simple.

Frank and Peggy have booked a cabin in the countryside for a weekend.

They have been married for 36 years and are very set in their ways.

Frank is reluctant to leave home and worries about everything, especially his job in office supplies.

Peggy is hoping the weekend getaway will inject some romance back into their marriage.

Into the cabin walk Jill and Tony, a younger couple who have also rented the same cabin for the weekend, due to a booking mistake.

It’s late, no one wants to leave, and they end up sharing the cabin, with Jill and Tony taking the bedroom and Frank and Peggy sleeping in the living room.

Romance seems to go by the wayside as the two couples get to know each other and the two men in particular spar verbally back and forth about life and work and relationships.

Talk about a generation gap!

You couldn’t find two more different couples.

You’ll have to see the show to discover what the two couples learn from each other. But remember, it’s called a “weekend comedy,” so the laughs come thick and fast as the zingers zip back and forth.

“Weekend Comedy” is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French.
