  • Summary

  • How far would you go to get your dream job?

    In The Temp, Warren (Marek Larwood) is sent to a variety of temp jobs by his recruitment officer Aimee (Vicki Pepperdine) on the promise that if he does a good job, it might become permanent. And each time, the job turns out to be more dangerous and ludicrous than advertised. Open-minded to the point of mindless, Warren never seems to notice that the job is very different to the job description - he just wants to do a good job, and get made permanent.

hilarious and very enjoyable

really enjoyed the show... very much of a Douglas Adams style of humor, which is directly up my alley!

Reminiscent of old radio plays

I really enjoyed this! It was very funny to listen to! It reminded me of those radio plays of the past where you could imagine all of the action happening. Very enjoyable! I hope other episodes are made.

variablity

the amount of laughs I got from the stories was highly variable.
I don't know how much that was due to differences in my mood and how much it had to do with the quality of the comedy...

Super entertaining

The story were really funny although some jokes seemed forced. It's a pretty chill audio to listen to. I just wished there were more short stories in it.

Avoid this

I was hoping for some funny stories about actual temping experiences but that's not what this is. The attempts at humor are painful. I started two episodes but the plots were absurd and stupid. I couldn't force myself to continue.
