Overworked and underwhelmed? Punch the clock with Slow Jobs. Local favorites Laura Bidgood and Curt Lund relive first jobs, creepy coworkers, minimum wage, office romances, and doing whatever it takes to pay the bills. A tale told in two timelines -- Curt from past to present, Laura from present to past -- the "zany pair" (Lavender) explores hope and heartburn, illusion and disillusion, in a hilarious string of unbelievable exploits. What did you want to be when you grew up? And what the hell happened instead?

2009 Fringe Encore winner!

"[a] storytelling extravaganza... Bidgood and Lund are both engaging storytellers, and their tales find the balance between the terrifyingly mundane and awe-inspiringly bizarre." (City Pages)

"a strong presence on stage, comfortably at home with the audience... an engrossing adventure" (Twin Cities Scene)

"...really great. Really terrific storytellers. And freakin' adorable!" (Anna Sundberg for Minnesota Playlist)

"Bidgood and Lund are, as ever, in fine form." (St. Paul Pioneer Press) And audiences agree:
