2023 Edinburgh Fringe
Wage Against the Machine
Sex shops, Robodebt, and roller coasters! 'Unfailingly funny' **** (Artshub.co.uk). 'Bursting at the seams with extraordinary stories' (TheatreThoughtsAus.online). A fast-paced hour of stand-up and storytelling, set in the surprisingly angry world of customer service. From illegal government debt, wage theft and breaking a 100-year-old roller-coaster saving the lives of 18 people - all in a day's work when you earn minimum wage.
