Winning Best Comedy Series at last night’s AACTA Awards, with Minchin taking out the Best Comedy Performer award, with his co-star Alcock also receiving a nomination nod, Upright is an unmissable Aussie drama.  

A story about family, resilience, music and forgiveness, Upright follows two misfits thrown together by chance in the middle of the Australian desert. 

When family outcast Lucky Flynn (Minchin) learns that his mother is dying, he decides to drive to the other side of Australia to see her, packing nothing but an upright piano for the journey. His plans are soon turned upside down when he meets the rogue teenager Meg (Alcock).
