Marc Wootton plays three characters placed in real situations with real people in this comedy/reality show.
The characters are all wannabes struggling to find fame and fortune in Los Angeles. There's Brendan, an aspiring documentary maker; Shirley Ghostman, a professional psychic; and Gary, a charismatic East-London cab driver who is determined to launch a new career in Hollywood as an actor.
La La Land is a hidden camera mockumentary in which Wootton plays fictitious characters but everybody else in the show, including his accomplices such as Kiki (Brendan's assistant), Chico (Shirley's driver) and Ruta (Gary's mentor), are completely real and unaware they are talking to an actor.
The show was originally broadcast on the Showtime Network in the US, but an adapted UK version (with a voiceover by Julian Barratt) has been made for the UK market.
