Featuring Kat Bond

Here's the second video of the Bitter Pubs series of comedy shorts.

It’s called The Last Ashtray and is about a landlady who decides to keep all the ashtrays after the smoking ban and their fate from that point.

Kat Bond plays the landlady and Jake Farrell plays a thief.

It was written by Jack Murray, who started the Instagram account Bitter Pubs during lockdown as something of a love letter to his favourite establishments.

He has now written more than 120 short essays 'inspired by pubs that look a bit bitter and like they’d serve a good bitter' and he and director Jack Harris chose two to turn into short films.

The first, Purgatory was released last month.
