Toast

Toast is a British sitcom that follows the life of Steven Toast, an eccentric, middle-aged actor living in London. Despite his delusions of grandeur and belief that he is a highly respected thespian, Toast is largely unsuccessful, frequently relegated to humiliating voiceover work, low-budget commercials, and disastrous stage plays. His career is constantly hampered by his own incompetence, his bitter rivalry with fellow actor Ray Purchase, and his reliance on his bizarre agent, Jane Plough. The series captures the absurdity of the acting industry through Toast's desperate attempts to land a 'big break.' Whether he is navigating the eccentricities of avant-garde directors or dealing with his eccentric landlord, Ed Howzer-Black, Toast remains perpetually indignant and oblivious to his own failures. The show is celebrated for its surreal humor, sharp satire of the entertainment world, and the iconic, bombastic performance of Matt Berry.
