Cartoon Island - A Surreal Comedy of Survival
Lost on a tiny two-tree island, hapless castaways, Jason and Bradney, struggle to make it through each strange day in this immersive improvised comedy misadventure.
Every morning, boxes mysteriously wash up on shore. The items inside are pretty useless. The island is a bit weird.
They have absolutely no idea where they are and very little idea of what to do.
With only the junk they unbox and a few coconuts each, simply surviving is a real surreal challenge.
Welcome to Cartoon Island.
New episodes transmitted every other Tuesday.
