Jungle In Here takes you on a journey through the eventual mental breakdown that comes from working on a reception desk. A great show to start my Fringe World 2022!

Jungle In Here is a clever one woman show that has Catherine the witty protagonist constantly interrupting herself with a complex internal monologue doubting her own abilities as a hopeful newscaster and performing straight to camera as a broadcast journalist. 

The show blends familiar dialogue and effortless costumes to produce a smooth one woman show. Catherine to portrays office ‘characters’ that we know all too well - the nose-y office gossip who is in everybody’s business, the time waster who cannot complete a task on their own and the show pony who seems to dress every morning to make their colleagues feel bad. Simple set design shows Catherine’s talent as she moves effortlessly between awkward office Christmas parties, the front reception of a bustling accounting firm and the wild rain forest of the Amazon.

Lighting, sound and set design allows Catherine to enchant the audience with the narrative and move effortlessly between scenes. 

Catherine perfectly encapsulates the feeling known to many women in their early twenties that their live is somehow only just beginning and simultaneously about to end. This 50-minute show replicates that time of turmoil in a young woman’s life but ends with a glimmer of hope that we will all eventually find some kind of meaning from our work and land in a job that we love. 

Jungle In Here will have you comparing nightmare colleagues and telephone greetings with friends for hours after the show.

Warning! Each ring of the landline phone is something of a Zoomer nightmare.
