About this event
Carolyn Swindell's had some crazy jobs. Seriously, what can't she do? All for 78c on the dollar. If corporations can benefit from the Gender Pay Gap, why can't comedy audiences?

"It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.''

So said Benjamin Franklin - a guy who once owned slaves and then became an abolitionist. Who said people can’t change?

Carolyn Swindell has a long list of impressive job titles. Myer Centre Elf to a mansplaining Santa. Senior Advisor to Bronwyn Bishop. Spin doctor for errant rugby league players.

In this hour-long guide to having fun in the workplace, Carolyn applies all of the 360-degree feedback models, Myers Briggs personality tests and bullshit self-awareness seminars that have ever been invested in her development to help you decide for yourself what Suitable Employment means.

Part inspirational self-help seminar, part stand-up, this show should be tax-deductible, you'll learn so much about how to fake being efficient and get ahead in the workplace.

It’s work. But not for you. For you it’s just fun.


Host of No Dribble podcast
