Casual Receptionist of the Quarter

Have you ever wondered - what kind of behaviour is happening for all of these signs to be popping up everywhere saying “Zero Tolerance Policy for Abuse Towards Staff” or “Please Be Kind”? Well, get your best dissociating pals together and come find out!

Directed by Fiona Harris (Comedy Inc., SkitHouse, The Drop Off), with dramaturgy by Broni Lisle (The Improv Conspiracy, Spontoon), ‘Casual Receptionist of the Quarter’ is a live workplace mockumentary (think Parks & Rec meets Utopia) offering behind-the-scenes insights into the front-of-house customer service experience at a commercial gym.

Between breaking up sexual activity in the steam room and reminding people it’s maybe not a great idea to wear Ugg boots on the treadmill, this chronic people-pleasing receptionist does the best she can to tolerate the entitled whinging and elevated testosterone, all while hoping you have a good day :)

Alongside her career in the arts, Nicole has worked at the front desk of a commercial gym for the past 10 years, so there’s a decade’s worth of trauma channeled into this show… and also possibly a few musical outbursts... Plug in that defib and buckle up.
