HOME | MOONIE

If 'Seinfeld' is the show about nothing, MOONIE is the sitcom about the little somethings, poking fun at the microaggressions and annoyances of everyday life for a group of early 30-something Black queer friends. Prank-loving butch comedian, Moonie, is at the center of this immature crew that never shies away from escalating the absurd to the outrageous.
