The Midnight Beast is a music and comedy show from BBC Three, starring Stefan Abingdon, Ashley Horne, and Dru Wakely. The show premiered in 2012 and ran for two seasons. The show follows the adventures of the titular band as they live their lives and try to make it big in the world of music. Stefan, Ashley, and Dru play exaggerated versions of themselves, with Stefan as the delusional frontman, Ashley as the lovable idiot, and Dru as the neurotic drummer.

Each episode features original songs performed by the band, which usually parody popular genres or songs. The songs are often humorous and irreverent, with lyrics that poke fun at various aspects of modern life.

The show's humor is often crude and vulgar, with a focus on sex, drugs, and rock and roll. The characters frequently find themselves in absurd and ridiculous situations, and the show revels in its own absurdity.

Despite its raunchy humor, The Midnight Beast also has a surprisingly sincere heart. The show explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and pursuing one's dreams, and the characters' genuine love for each other is a major part of the show's appeal.

The Midnight Beast has a distinctive visual style, with bright colors, bold graphics, and a frenetic pace. The show's visuals are often as zany and over-the-top as its humor, with surreal dream sequences, elaborate dance numbers, and cartoonish special effects.

The show's music is one of its biggest highlights. The original songs are catchy and well-produced, and they often feature clever wordplay and infectious hooks. The band's ability to parody different genres and musical styles is impressive, and their music has a unique and irresistible energy.

The Midnight Beast is not for everyone. Its humor can be crude and juvenile, and its characters are often portrayed as shallow and selfish. However, for those who enjoy raunchy humor and irreverent satire, the show is a hilarious and entertaining ride.

Overall, The Midnight Beast is a fun and irreverent music and comedy show that doesn't take itself too seriously. With its catchy songs, wacky visuals, and goofy characters, the show is a great choice for anyone looking for a laugh.
