Inbetweeners to crash Mekka Wednesday Party

The Inbetweeners 2, will crash Brisbane’s biggest party at the races, Smirnoff Mekka Wednesday on August 13. The cast including Simon Bird (Will), James Buckley (Jay), Blake Harrison (Neil) and Joe Thomas (Simon) will make a special appearance at the event to be held at Doomben racecourse, which also features a line-up of Australia’s leading DJs Joel Fletcher, Tigerlilly, Rave Radio and TooShoes. The follow-up to the United Kingdom’s most successful comedy of all time reunites the hapless Jay, Neil, Simon and Will this time in Australia – the film was shot on the Gold Coast, at Byron Bay, Sydney and the remote South Australian town of Maree. The Inbetweeners creators, Iain Morris and Damon Beesley, are first-time directors on the sequel having once again written the script. The pair said they couldn’t imagine not coming Down Under to see all the fans given the sequel was shot here. “We could not be more excited about coming back to Australia. The last time we were there England were being embarrassed in The Ashes, but even that couldn’t spoil the fun we had. We had an incredible time shooting there and were lucky enough to see dawn in Byron Bay, a full moon over Sydney Harbour and the splendour of the Maree Hotel at 4am amongst other things.” The Inbetweeners will be at the Smirnoff Mekka Raceday from 12.30pm, with the chance for fans to meet the cast and have their photo taken. Tickets for Smirnoff Mekka Wednesday can be purchased from $25 through Ticketek, with a special offer available for groups of 6 or more. Details can be found at www.brc.com.au/mekkawednesday]]>
