The Temp by Steve Nelson

By Pamelascott

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.

As an Audio Show - free for members - when you add The Temp to your library, you'll get all 6 episodes, each with a runtime of about 30 minutes.

This audible show tries far too hard to be funny and it doesn't really pan out. There are some funny moments but the whole thing is just cheesy and over-the-top. It made me cringe rather than laugh which is not a good thing. I liked the concept of the show and it could have been hilarious but it falls flat on its face. The Temp is too stupid and cheesy and cringe worthy to be genuinely amusing.
