Sean Lock and Jon Richardson, team captains on 8 out of 10 Cats, are heading out to Louisiana to see how real men live.

Down in the bayou they'll be sharing an insect-ridden shack with Creole cowboys and Cajun swampmen, men who wrestle... 'gators and castrate bulls with their bare hands. They might be titans of the stand-up circuit, but when it comes to lassoing long-horned cattle, playing the washboard, catching and eating bullfrogs and dancing the Cajun Two-Step, have they got what it takes to survive?

The Real Man's Road Trip: Sean and Jon Go West takes them and us deep into uncharted territory. This is where the buddy road movie meets Deliverance and we see Sean and Jon's surreal humour play out in ever more bizarre situations, like panning for gold in Alaska, learning the art of hillbilly hand-fishing, brewing up moonshine in the Blue Ridge Mountains or dressing up in camp gear for a duck hunt.

Will their macho credentials, and their friendship, stand the test? Much more than just a road trip, The Real Man's Road Trip: Sean and Jon Go West combines the culture clash of Tribal Wives or Living with the Amish, with the exotic Americana of Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends. And in the current economic climate, you never know when a few survival skills might just come in handy.
