THE STORY

Journalist David Farrier stumbles upon a mysterious tickling competition online. As he delves deeper he comes up against fierce resistance, but that doesn’t stop him getting to the bottom of a story stranger than fiction.

WHAT CAME NEXT

The story of TICKLED didn't finish with the film's release. Some of the people featured in the film turned up at festival screenings, and in Los Angeles for an almost unbelievable confrontation.

In February 2017 we released a short follow-up to TICKLED, called THE TICKLE KING, which tells the story of what took place once filming wrapped.

Even since THE TICKLE KING the story has continued - taking a sad and surprising turn early in 2017. We've written about the latest developments for The Spinoff, but be warned, it contains spoilers if you haven't yet seen TICKLED and THE TICKLE KING.
