  • 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.

Great writing

Really enjoyed these shows, just as good as many paid comedy series I've bought. Would really like to see this continued.

This series is really funny 😁

Pleasantly surprised by this audio book, it was funny in a really cleaver way, listened to it with my teenager & he really enjoyed it too ... I hope there’s a series 2 coming soon. Well done Steve Nelson & the rest of the performers 👍🏼👍🏼

Wasn't Sure at First, but...

the whole series is absolutely hysterical, the characters are well played and some pretty good lines to boot. I sat here in the beach giggle to myself and quite often laughing out loud, which probably made me look like a simpleton suffering from sun stroke.

Excellent!

I absolutely love this show & am hoping for a second series. The writing is excellent & the performance & characterisations make this such an enjoyable listen when you have half an hour to kill. The different escapades Warren the temp finds himself in are ridiculous, yet draw you in & end up believable to his character. His friend & employer at the temp agency, Amy, is always available to lend a helping hand & they make a fantastic & unstoppable pair! Please make more!
