In 1998, when Amazon.com went to temping agencies to recruit people, they gave them a simple directive: send us your freaks. Mike Daisey - actor, comedian, author, blood plasma seller, night janitor in a home for the violently mentally ill and general layabout - seemed perfect for the job.
‘Between Spalding Gray and Robin Williams’ [NEW YORK POST]
This tale of how a dilettante made his way through the ranks of corporate America over the course of twenty-one dog years is the stuff of both dreams and nightmares. ‘Surreal, silly and telling. Daisey is brutally funny’ [The Seattle Times] Mike Daisey’s 21 Dog Years is a wickedly funny anthem to the darkly humorous compromises necessary every day to survive in corporate America. After several highly successful Off-Broadway runs, this is Mike’s UK debut. ‘Achingly funny and painfully honest’ [Backstage]
‘We haven't seen the show, but we hear it's quite funny’ [Patty Smith, Amazon spokesperson]
