Why Are You Here? season 2 teaser

In the riveting season finale, Karen meets meek-and-mild Charlotte and her hyper-masculine partner, Lachie. Karen thinks Char needs to be more assertive, because Lachie is clearly prioritising ‘the boys’ from the footy club (and ‘bush bashing’ in his Holden Barina) over her. When Lachie eventually turns up to the counselling session, Karen works her magic on the self-proclaimed ‘metrosexual prankster’, and Charlotte is finally able to Lach it down! On today's episode, Charlotte was played by Jenni Townsend (@fiberopticduck on Instagram) and Lachie was played by Jayden Masciulli (@jaymasciulli and @hitbyablimpcomedy on Instagram). Follow Karen on Instagram @whyareyouherepod and Twitter @whyruherepod.

 With their creepy-real latex skin, heartbeats and camera eyes, Karen’s doll-babies prove her most challenging homework task yet. Would-be mum Charmaine has spent a week crying over fake poo, while Greg has joined a mothers’ group and is loving life with baby ‘Vi-vi’. In Karen’s corner we learn that a past as a 90s raver doesn’t qualify you to be a hip Melbourne queer in 2018, but remember when Dangerfield sold glitter pots?  On today's episode, Charmaine was played by Ange Chan (check out her amazing designs at angechan.com) and Greg was played by Stefan Sgarioto (@stefansgarioto on Instagram).  Follow Karen on Instagram @whyareyouherepod and Twitter @whyruherepod.
