Wage Against The Machine
 

The workplace can be one hell of a ride!

 Fresh from sell-out seasons in Edinburgh, the US and across Australia, award-winning comedian and storyteller Matt Harvey (The Shovel, The Shot) shares hilarious tales from jobs he no longer needs to worry about being fired from. 

A feisty exploration of one man’s journey through the joys of Robodebt, wage theft and breaking a 100-year-old roller coaster to save the lives of 18 people.

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. It’s all in a day's work when you earn the minimum wage. 

Matt invites you 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.

Looking for laughs and great stories? Matt knows how to entertain audiences of all kinds. Whether you're in the mood for a good chuckle or an engaging narrative, Matt Harvey is the performer for you!

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
