The Temp

Are we all faking it at our jobs? Or is that just The Temp, a pretentious ingenue ready to spill her truth on her undercover acting role at a dysfunctional New York media company.
A twisted solo play from Brooklyn comedian Kristina DeGiovanni and directed by Alexandra Scordato, The Temp is Fleabag-meets-The Office for the post-Great Resignation era, lampooning white-collar corporate culture through a tale of lies, betrayal, and absurd impersonations of desperate co-workers. Fresh off rave reviews from its 2023 Edinburgh Fringe and a smash success at Caveat in NYC, The Temp is now making it's Los Angeles debut at The Yard.
Featured in The Guardian, Natasha Tripney wrote “(The Temp) doesn’t need to actually be able to do the job, she just needs to look as if she is doing it. It’s an acting gig, and she treats it as such, going method. This is the basis for some American office caricatures, which DeGiovanni sinks her teeth into.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“The Temp effortlessly blends uproarious comedy with astute commentary on ambition. With an intoxicating blend of humour and satire, this production is an absolute must-see that guarantees a night of unadulterated laughter."

“DeGiovanni’s solo play is pure brilliance. It’s both entertaining and social commentary on any workplace anyone has ever worked in…”.

“I do not exaggerate when I suggest this could be an ‘I was there before they hit the big time’ experience.
The Quintessential Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Bursting at the seams, brimming with hilarious quips and inspired observations... DeGiovanni’s characterisations, vocal dexterity and physicality are all executed with expert precision.”
