Inspired by the trials and tribulations of getting a job as a Gen Z; from two Soho Labs alumni Pollard and Day. Featuring one performer (Day) playing 18 characters – and the occasional object. "Sorry, I've Got No Head meets Succession" (Audience review). "Charmingly chaotic... GANNET both whets the comedy appetite and leaves you hungry for more" (AYoungishPerspective.co.uk).
