Synopsis

What’s the worst that could happen at a couples brunch you’re attending? The quiche is overcooked? Someone forgets to bring orange juice for the mimosas? There’s a cataclysmic disaster in your city and you and the other guests, all wildly unprepared for such an event, are forced to duct tape up the windows and wait out what could be apocalyptic doom – all the while working out relationship issues?
IT’S A DISASTER tells the story of how eight people face the most trying and potentially horrible day of their lives in a very unconventional way – with witty dialogue, snappy jokes, and laugh-out loud set pieces. Who will lose their cool? Whose relationship will last? What the hell is going to happen to these people? You’ll just have to watch and find out.
