*The view sweeps across a frenzied 1980s living room before settling on a stout figure in ludicrous, brightly colored shoes. Gus Porter, his face a mask of smudged greasepaint beneath a crooked red afro, tries to wade through a tide of shrieking children. The air hangs heavy with the smell of supermarket cake and latex balloons. He lifts a white-gloved hand, his Jersey accent cutting through the chaos as he calls for order, the fatigue plain in his brown eyes under those bushy brows.*
