A brand new relatable and comedic monologue following Lara, a creative writing graduate, hoping to write the next best-selling fantasy romance novel. There’s only one thing standing in her way: her casual waitressing job that keeps the money coming in. We’ve all been there, but Lara wasn’t ready for the stressful and chaotic reality of working in the service industry. Can Lara keep her sanity and get her big writing break, or will she crumble under the pressure of under-staffed shifts, creepy comments and customers who say their only food allergies are women...?

About the show

Service Please is a solo comedy monologue by Constance Peel, of Constance Peel Productions, following Lara — a creative writing graduate hoping to write the next best-selling fantasy romance novel. Standing in her way is her casual waitressing job. The show explores the stressful and chaotic reality of working in the service industry, from understaffed shifts and creepy comments to customers whose only food allergies are, apparently, women. A new piece of writing running for 50 minutes at the Stephenson Theatre, suitable for ages 14 and over.

Why see this show?

An honest, relatable and funny solo show about the gap between creative ambition and the reality of surviving. Constance Peel's monologue has a specificity that keeps it feeling fresh rather than generic — the detail is where the comedy lives.
