Amy Huberman stars as a housewife driven demented in Jason Byrne's new Irish comedy short "The Rug".

Huberman joins Byrne in a new Sky 1 series of shorts, where they star as husband and wife Andrew and Helen.

The innocent, conservative pair impulsively steal a rug from a carpet shop when their card fails to work, but are immediately plagued by the guilt.

The short film develops into a hilarious story of the consequences of living on the wild side for those who just aren't used to it.

The new Sky 1 series of shorts premiered at the Cat Laughs Comedy Festival last month.
