LEASH YOUR POTENTIAL: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO CORPORATE SURVIVAL

★★★★ ★ out of 5 Stage 10, Acacia Hall Ever had to sit through endless meetings, ladened with corporate buzzwords and forced to discuss goals that no one will ever be able to, or want to, achieve?

Ever had to prepare or study metrics that mean absolutely nothing to anybody?

Ever wanted to know the secrets to surviving modern corporate bureaucracy?

If so, then look no further than Ryan Gunther’s “corporate training seminar,” Leash Your Potential.

In one of the funniest performances at this year’s Fringe, Gunther provides an insightful, biting and hilarious look at office work in the 21st century and what it takes to survive the next round of layoffs while also avoiding drawing too much attention to the job you are doing, even if you are doing it unremarkably.

Gunther’s bleak observations of our work life, a world that consumes most of our lives, could be depressing as hell but his sublime writing and performance will have you in stitches.

If every PowerPoint presentation could be this entertaining there would be no more boredom at those endless meetings your boss makes you sit through.

I cannot recommend this show enough.

And remember folks: Dress for the job you want people to think you are doing.
