Levi Hirsh

Levi Hirsh is played by Leon Wadham

Confident and charming, Levi likes to be in control of his world.

After a particularly bad day at the office his self-proclaimed perfect life is given a sharp shake and suddenly the whole idea of a quest doesn't seem so stupid - especially when there's revenge to be had!

Levi (25) is Ted's best friend, a brother from another mother. And that mother is Miriam. When Ted and Bennie's parents broke up, they went to board with Miriam who took on the role of Camp Mother. Miriam likes to remind Levi of his Jewish heritage whenever possible.

Levi now flats with Bennie and Ted (which works for Miriam who feels comfortable dropping in whenever she likes). Levi's father Ken died a few years ago, but Miriam hasn't started dating yet. She's happy enough living vicariously through her son's active social life.

Levi is smart, energetic and articulate. He's gay but he doesn't make a song and dance about it. Actually, he's quite fond of a song and a dance, but he's never had issues about his sexuality - at least, not since he was outed kissing the school jock (more on that later in the series).

Levi and Ted were friends before Levi came out. Levi actually helped rescue Ted (still short and plain at this point) from being bullied the school Mean Girls - including Candy McMann - who enjoyed taunting him by putting a bin over him. When Levi's sexual preference was revealed it didn't faze Ted (although it did make him more rampantly hetero for a while) and he and Levi have been tight ever since.

Levi works in event management, is well paid and maintains a fairly glitzy lifestyle. He'd have even more cash if he ever got paid for the endless bar- and bat mitzvahs he's constantly roped into organising by Miriam - you've got to give back to your community, apparently.

Levi's confidence can often be his blind spot. When the series begins, Tiana, his hitherto compliant assistant shafts him causing Levi decides he will do the 'Go Girls' thing after all. And so begins a quest for pay back...
