Amongst the drudgery of the 9-5, the minutiae of office existence are transformed into gleeful slapstick as these two clown and comedy performers come together to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Dialogue is minimal, but jokes are plentiful in this extraordinary celebration of the banal.

"The performance is perfect" - Chortle, UK
"Howlingly funny, exquisitely performed hour of office-set slapstick from two of New Zealand's most exciting comic talents"- The Telegraph, UK
