Asparagus Tips

A dinner party kicks off with the last guest to arrive, the oddly named Asparagus Tips. Upon introducing herself, we soon gather that her name comes from her asparagus hands. After the starter doesn’t go according to plan, she steps up to the plate, literally, and offers her tips for the party. A delicious delight that everyone wants more of, mostly at the disadvantage of poor Asparagus Tips.

Directed by Sam Bailey, Asparagus Tips leans on a strong ensemble — Cariad Lloyd, Margaret Cabourn-Smith, John-Luke Roberts — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2019.
