WHAT BAREBUM BILLY IS ABOUT
Hilarity meets high adventure in this irreverent but 'snort-drink-out-your-nostrils' funny story about a wild little kid who loves to strip off and run around nude in the most inappropriate of places. Billy streaks through his snooty neighbours’ manicured lawn, the supermarket, an art museum, the zoo, a golfing green, and even his local church, just to name a few!
Unsurprisingly, Billy’s neurotic toy robot is horrified. His poor parents are embarrassed. Meanwhile, all sorts of other snooty folk are fuming mad over his antics. But one day Billy meets someone special who helps turn his skill for streaking stark naked into a wonderful career.
