“You’ll love Laurence," they said. Now the sparkle’s gone—and he's realised he never learned any real skills beyond buying the milk!
About this Event

“You’re going to love Laurence” used to be the office guarantee. The cheerful promise colleagues gave before introducing him. He was the reliable spark, the one who could brighten a meeting, fix a mood, or smooth over tension with a joke. For years, being the fun one felt like enough.

But now he’s hit 40, and the once-automatic enthusiasm has faded, the tolerance for small talk has evaporated, and the role of office morale booster has become… optional. For the first time, Laurence is questioning whether charm is a sustainable career strategy.

And in that reflection comes the unsettling realisation: he never learned any real, tangible skills beyond buying the milk and sensing when the communal fridge required urgent intervention. This show follows his reluctant journey out of the personality-hire trap - funny, honest, and painfully relatable to anyone who’s ever woken up and thought, Wait… what exactly is my job?
