Brothers With No Game is a British Comedy-drama web and Television series, broadcast on London Live TV channel, and a number of global streaming platforms including EcoNet, AfroStream and TRACE Play.
The series follows the social and romantic lives of four childhood friends, facing a ‘quarter-life crisis’, the 20somethings come to terms with the responsibilities and dilemmas that revolve around work, family, friendship and most notably - women.
Brothers With No Game began as a blog in 2010 featuring comedic takes on life’s dilemmas. In 2012, the blog was developed into a YouTube web series, partly crowdfunded by the fans of the blog via Indiegogo.
The YouTube channel has gone on to receive over 1 million views and the UK broadcasting rights were acquired by London Live TV Channel in 2014, and was broadcast on the channels launch night.
The shows has since gone on to reach a wider global audience through distribution across Africa, the Caribbean and Europe via Econet and TRACE.
Jay Marsh plays Theo Barrett, a marketer for a multimedia company. He is what many would call the epitome of what a Brother With No Game is. Bubbly, animated and a self-confessed geek, he is seen as the proverbial good gentleman of the group, and as a result can’t seem to find a woman that he is compatible with. Theo has a confusing relationship with school friend Simone, with fans vocally unsure whether there is more to them than just friends. Humble, likeable yet with a hint of naivety he provides a necessary balance to the four main friends.
Zephryn Taitte portrays Dorian Kerr an accountant who works with Theo at the same multimedia company. Intelligent and well-read he assumes the role of life analyst and often uses his interest in psychology and conspiracy theories to theorise on just about everything. His love for Arsenal rivals his hate for work, especially his boss Michael who he shares awkward competitive scenes with. Dorian dates a number of women despite being picky, yet his heart lies with childhood friend Lisa, who he subsequently fails to make his girlfriend for most of the series.
David Avery plays Marcus Graham, a men’s fashion magazine intern turned content editor. Charismatic, Confident and Cocky with self-proclaimed good looks, he is the charmer of the friends. He likes his women to compliment his attempted lifestyle and often goes for the fashionable, high maintenance and trophy types. His necessity to lie about who he is to get women almost always backfires on him in the long run with his conquests in the series ranging from crazy to young.
