In this
gangster farce from first-time writer/director
Ky Mo Lab, a pair of Irish pals become embroiled in a murder
mystery upon their move to London. When
Kenny (
Glen Mulhern) arrives in the big city, he's dismayed to find his mate,
Byron (
Brendan Mackey), on the dole and boozing it up. But he's even more horrified to learn how
Byron supplements his dole checks: by working as a rent boy in a gay pub. Despite his trepidation,
Kenny soon embarks on a parallel career. But when a rich couple named
The Queen (
Michael Praed) and
Golders Green (
Simon Godley) turn up dead,
Kenny and
Byron think they've found the solution to their financial woes. Rumor has it that
Golders Green kept a wad of cash squirreled away in his mattress. Unfortunately, several other colorful low-lives have their eyes on the prize, from
The Desperate Dwarf (
Raymond Griffiths) to
The Iron Lady (
Karen Sharman). As the queer corpses continue to pile up,
Kenny and
Byron wonder whether they'll ever locate the loot -- and whether their newfound occupation has deeper implications. Screened at the Palm Springs Film Festival,
Nine Dead Gay Guys marked the feature debut for both
Mulhern and
Mackey. The character
Golders Green is named after the neighborhood where he lives, a historically Jewish area of London.
