Redundancy. Scary, right? Well there’s one particular receptionist working at Bolton Risk Consultancy, and he’s scared for a slightly different reason than most; he’s scared a dog will take his job. He’s prepared to show you all just how hard he’s fought for his spot, through a rather passive aggressive PowerPoint presentation. Only, this process can become quite revealing, and perhaps there are some skeletons in his closet – or filing cabinet.

The Probability Of A Dog Becoming A Receptionist is an interactive and immersive one man show, described as feeling like “well-constructed stand-up” while playing with “fascinating themes explored through humour”.

This performance is a comedic, fast-paced, multi-media experience exploring replacement, queerness and what it means to have a ‘circle’.

A third floor theatre production.
