TORCH THE PLACE

About the show

It's Mum's 60th. The kids have brought cake, presents… and a skip bin. From Queensland born-and-bred TV writer and author Benjamin Law (The Family Law), comes his breakout comedy Torch the Place - a hilarious and deeply moving exploration of family, legacy, and the things we hold onto — literally. Teresa's mum can't let go of anything — from grudges to Princess Di's ash trays to late 90s Disney VHS. When her children return to celebrate her 60th birthday, it's not just a reunion — it's an intervention. Armed with a skip bin and good intentions, the siblings attempt to help their mother confront decades of detritus, rusted-on emotions and long-buried memories. Inspired by Law's own family experience and Australia's fast-growing problem with compulsive hoarding, Torch the Place balances sharp wit with a deeply emotional reckoning around trauma, identity, and the meaning of 'stuff.'
