A stand-up comedy show about bad jobs with equally as glamourous prizes. Do you think you have the worst job? Wait till you hear what these comedians have done for work or worse yet, what they’re still doing for work! We’re on the hunt to find the worst employees in Edinburgh or the most unfortunate! And by the end of the show, we will have crowned the #1 working class individual in the room!

About the show

This stand-up comedy show from Alessio Carducci and Dahn Rozario is built around bad jobs. The audience is invited to compete for the title of the worst employee or most unfortunate worker in Edinburgh, with prizes on offer. Comedians share their own work horror stories — some they have left behind, some they are still living through — in a show that ends by crowning the number one working class individual in the room. Runs 60 minutes at Basement, suitable for ages 14 and over with audience participation throughout.

Why see this show?

An interactive show where the audience is as much the material as the comedians — your own terrible job history could win you a prize. There is a genuine warmth to the concept: shared suffering turned into shared laughter.
