Google Alessio Carducci and Dahn Rozario / Free FestivalAbout 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.
