Further details
Useless agent Darren lands Andy a part as the gay, tanned genie in Aladdin, alongside Les Dennis. It soon becomes clear that Les's 26 year-old fiancé is getting some behind-the-scenes action with the stage hand (and other parts of him). Andy is left to pick up the pieces as Les spirals into a depression which leaves him crying into his beer.
Meanwhile, Maggie bumps into old acting friend Lizzie whose life is completely consumed by her camp, controlling father, Bunny. Her only friends appear as though they've been ambushed from the local day care centre but Maggie gets no sandwiches for her honesty.
