One Show - Two Chaotic Stories About Corporate American Nightmares Comes to EdFringe

1-11 August, 2024 at The Stand Comedy Club

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK – NYC-based comedians and storytellers Bailey Swilley and Ricky Sim separately share their two half-hour comedies in a new show debuting at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, “Don’t Tell Our Bosses.” In Swilley’s “Trophy Kid’ and Sim’s “Corporate Gaysian,” the two explore the trials and tribulations of working their first jobs in the city. Audiences can expect Bravo-esque ‘HE DID WHAT?’ chaos, jealousy, horniness – while the performers reflect on racism, sexism, and homophobia in the office.

He quickly realizes that as an ESL Gaysian immigrant, the only way up the corporate ladder is by breaking the rainbow-bamboo ceiling and getting ahead of his office nemesis—the tallest, straight white man who's favored by everyone in his team, until one day he finds out....
