OBSERVER: Wage Against The Machine
ward-winning comedian and storyteller Matt Harvey presents Wage Against the Machine on April 11 at Chapel off Chapel in The Loft at 7.30pm.
Matt reckons that everyone (possibly everyone) has had a job at least once that they have hated.
A boss they thought they were smarter than (probably were) or just wished daily they could take a sickie and not turn up (reckon that’s happened multiple times).
Matt Harvey not only relates but has stories to tell aplenty; from sex shops to robodebt to roller coasters and more.
Fresh from a sell-out season in Edinburgh and Melbourne Fringe Festival 2024, Matt Harvey will bring his show Wage Against the Machine to Melbourne International Comedy Festival this April.
This is a feisty exploration of one man’s journey, tacking issues like poverty-level jobs, class struggles, and corporate versus human rights.
A darkly comic and pertinent comment on the day-to-day struggles of the working class, it’s a fast-paced hour of stand-up and storytelling, set in the surprisingly angry world of customer service.
Matt Harvey (The Shovel, The Shot) shares tales from jobs he no longer needs to worry about being fired from. Wage Against the Machine weaves a tapestry of comedic anecdotes that resonate with anyone who’s ever clocked in at a less-than-perfect job.
Matt Harvey invites audiences to punch your timecard and join him for Wage Against the Machine; where the daily grind is minimum wage, maximum grief … and the customer is always wrong.
