Hands up who likes their job? Or perhaps the right question to ask is who doesn’t like their job? Ben Lomas doesn’t and it seems it doesn’t matter what he does to get fired (like making fun of one colleague throughout the last festival), it just doesn’t work. Salary And Sacrifice delves into office politics and hilariously makes fun of the characters, good and irritating, he comes into contact with on a daily basis.

A town planner by day, Ben Lomas’ office hours are consumed with photocopying and just generally trying to make it through. His accurate observations on the little things in life that make a boring office day seem exciting, for example, how hard it is raining outside, or the fact that the computers have gone down, are uproariously entertaining to say the least. Lomas recounts run-ins with colleagues who are a little bit annoying or crazy, and let’s face it we all have some colleagues who are like that. He also depicts meetings that last for 40 minutes where the agenda isn’t about pressing matters, more so about Kris Kringle and music in the workplace, and last but not least, the disgruntled people who ring up that you have to deal with. I must say, some of his solutions are quite amusing, although I would never be game enough to try them.

Commanding the audience’s attention with his genuinely warm and funny personality Ben Lomas has created a show that everyone can relate to, even those who do like their job, because let’s face it no workplace is perfect. You would be absolutely, one hundred percent crazy to miss Ben Lomas in Salary And Sacrifice.
