When Rats (Michael McElhatton) finds himself once again released from prison, his return to the family home doesn't go smoothly. The money painstakingly saved to send his aunt to Lourdes, in the hopes of finding a miracle cure for terminal obesity, is stolen. So Rats embarks on a series of hilarious and failed attempts to replace the stolen money, until he realizes his best bet is to use his only worthwhile 'weapon' - his musical genius. Teaming up with faithful sidekicks Tommo (Peter McDonald) and Brainer (Donal O'Kelly), he reforms his band, the superb Spermdotcom, to raise back the cash, and pick up a bit of rock-star glory along the way.

Rats Doyle, out to impress his Ma and earn money to send his obese aunty to Lourdes reforms his band Spermdotcom to enter an X-Factor style talent show.-
Spin The Bottle… succeeds by providing a forum for some superb character actors to work through a series of delightful caricatures. It may be broader than it is long, but it is very funny.
